Loch
Ba is another favourite. This is situated in the middle of
the island (about 3 miles from Salen) and part of the Ben More
estate. It is a good place to see eagles. You can get a bus
to Salen and hire a bike there.
Loch
Buie is a small village
with a castle,
beautiful black sand beach, standing stones and Ben Buie standing
at 717 metres. It is approximately 14 miles from Craignure - you
would need a high level of fitness to cycle there.
Ben
More is Mull's only Munro at a height of 966 metres. It is
about 14 miles from Salen to the start of the walk. For more information
about climbing Ben More click

Gribun
cliffs offer some of the most dramatic views on Mull. A lovely
drive or take a picnic to the nearby beach at Loch Na Keal. It
is about 21 miles from Salen - a serious cycle ride.
The
Isle of Iona, famous
for its abbey,
lies off the south west of Mull. In addition to its important
history it is also a beautiful island with lovely beaches. You
can get there by bus
from Tobermory to Craignure and then on to Fionnphort.
Uisken
is another beautiful Mull beach approximately 3 miles from the
village of Bunesan on the south west end of the island. It is
about 9 miles from Fionnphort (click
here for bus times) where you can hire bikes.
Tireragan
is an estate on the southwest tip of Mull - an area of great
conservation importance, managed by a local charity to regenerate
woodlands and other habitats.
West coast road - this drive
(or bike ride if you are super fit) offers the most stunning
views, especially as the sun is setting. And look out for
Lip-na-Cloiche
- a beautiful garden that has been lovingly created by Lucy
MacKenzie Panizzon.
These are just some suggestions for places to visit. We have
plenty of books and maps that you can borrow when you stay
at Sunart View
to help you explore further.
