| Kintyre, Argyll & Secret Isle of Gigha |
 |
 |
| 28th June 5 days Half Board £339 |
| The colourful fi shing village of Tarbert is well worth a visit. It is a
yachtsman's paradise with a safe harbour and is a popular stopping off
point for boats heading out to the west coast through the Crinan canal.
A short walk above the village finds the ruined Tarbert Castle, seen
as strategically important and so was rebuilt and extended. The drive
from Tarbert to Campbeltown offers magnificent views of the islands
of Gigha, Jura, Islay and even Northern Ireland on a clear day. South of
Campbeltown is the road to Southend and to the Mull of Kintyre. The
direct road is about 8 miles to Southend with a further 8 miles of single
track road out to the lighthouse on 'the Mull'. |
Day 1
A prompt start as we head into the
borders and Moffat for our early
lunch stop. From here we head to
Inveray via the outskirts of Glasgow
and Loch Lomond, the Rest and be
Thankful, to The Gray Gull. Although
it is Argyll here we are only 12
miles from the head of the Kintyre
Peninsula. We settle in for a relaxing.
Day 2
A slower pace today as we travel
out and follow the Crinan Canal
to the coast at Crinan. The route is
very scenic and narrow but when
we reach Crinan there are great
views to outer islands and the Isle
Of Jura. We return by the same
route to Cairnbaan and then head
north to cross the bridge over
the Atlantic Ocean to Isle of Seil
and Easdale, famous for its slate
quarries. Afterwards we return to
Kilmartin and Ardrishaig.
|
Day 3
A prompt start today as we travel
on Tayinloan for the 10am ferry
to Gigha. On arrival we head to Achamore House which stands
within what is perhaps Gigha's main
attraction, the magnifi cent 50 acre
Achamore Gardens. After our visit
we head to Isle Gigha Hotel for
a light lunch included in the tour
price. We have time to explore this
little bit of heaven before we return
on the 3 O'clock ferry.
Day 4
Today we return to Kintyre and tour
the whole peninsula, fi rst down the
Atlantic coast to Campbeltown and
The Mull, then we return along the
Kilbranan Sound with great views
of The Isle of Arran, passing Saddell
Bay where the fi lming was done
for the Mull of Kintyre. Afterwards
we pass Carradale with its pretty
harbour and join the single track
road back to Kennacraig.
Day 5
A return journey with some
fabulous views we start by joining
the ferry across Loch Fyne and via
the Kyles of Bute to Dunoon, then
across the Firth of Cylde and the
south through Ayrshire arriving
home early evening. |
