'Perfect for walkers, golfers and people seeking tranquility '.

Kintyre's accessible but reasonably remote location is one of its best assets, affording peace, quiet and an leisurely pace of life, and the opportunity to visit areas and attractions without queues and throngs of visitors.

Walking

The Kintyre Way walk opened in 2006 and enables walkers of all abilities to walk the length and breadth of Kintyre in relative isolation and safety. The walk which accumulates to approximately 86 miles is divided into manageable sections to give walkers of all abilities time to rest and enjoy good food and hospitable accommodation before and after each stretch.

Why not take the time to explore the areas there and see any historical items of interest such as Saddell Abbey, Tarbert Castle, Skipness Castle and of course the Mull of Kintyre.

There are also many shorter walks across Kintyre with some fantastic stretches of coastline to explore throughout the peninsula.

Golfing

Golfers are in for a real treat, with great clubs such as The Machrihanish Golf Club and the Championship Links Course it has, a must for any golf fanatic aswell as welcoming clubs throughout Kintyre.

Other courses here include Tarbert, Carradale, Gigha, Dunaverty and the new Dunes of Machrihanish course.

Wildlife

Kintyre has an abundance of wildlife, including rare Golden Eagles and a variety of birds of prey, otters, deer, seals and much more.

Alot of the wildlife can be seen right throughout Kintyre, with seal colonies often basking in the summer sun between 50 and 100 yards of the coastline, perfect for photo opportunities.

Machrihanish has a Seabird and Wildlife Observatory, and close by Campbeltown's Owl Sanctuary offers a rewarding day out.
