STRONTIAN VILLAGE WALKS
There are several great walks in and around Strontian, of varying lengths and difficulty and you'll find a dowload link for some of the shorter, easier walks below. If you're staying with us for a few days, these will give you plenty of options without even getting into your car.
Of course there are plenty of great walks just a little further out of Strontian too, and a stop at one of the local shops to grab a picnic will make them a solid part of a good day out when you reach their best viewpoints.
The Forestryandland website is a really great resource to help you find all the best short walks and viewpoints in the area.
Garbh Eilean Wildlife Hide is worth a special mention as it's a great place to see the local wildlife, involves just a short, steady walk, and is not far out of Strontian. From Strontian, take the A816 west for about 5¼ miles (8.5 km). Garbh Eilean car park is on the left. PH36 4HY is the nearest postcode. If you're after a lovely day out, why not visit the hide then drive on to Salen for lunch at the Salen hotel or jetty tearoom. You can then check out the available tours for another great day out.
