Campbeltown is the nearest town or village.
OS Grid Reference: NR720184
The developing woodland on the slopes of Beinn Ghuilean, with its colourful mixture of spruce, pine and larch trees provides the backdrop to the busy Royal Burgh of Campbeltown. A popular trail, which has a number of short but steep climbs along the way, leads you through the woodland offering fine views over the town and Campbeltown loch.
Mammals: Set above Campbeltown this maturing woodland is home to many wildlife species. Roe deer in particular can often be seen, they are nervous & elusive so you need to be quiet to be in with a chance of seeing one. We have information about Red squirrel and Roe deer
Birds: The moor land and woodland edge habitat provides a home for many bird species, gold crests and tree creepers are among Britains smallest birds so you need be observant to see them. On the higher sections of the walk golden eagle and black grouse can be seen occasionally. We have information about Golden eagle and Black grouse
How to get there:
Cambeltown is at the end of the A83 at the southern end of the Kintyre Peninsula. Beinn Ghuilean sites on the hillside to the south of the town.
