Carradale
 

From the quiet fishing village walks take you on to the hill high above the village or along the beach and through Carradale Forest.

Kilbrannan Sound

As you walk along the shore you might see a basking shark or a salmon leaping, out in the Kilbrannan sound. From the summit of Cnoc nan-Gabhar a wonderful panorama of Kintyre awaits.

On clear days you may see Ben Cruachan to the north and the Isle of Arran to the south. All the walks link to the Network Carradale Heritage Centre where interesting graphic displays depict the history of farming, fishing and forestry in the area.
