The Arran Coastal Way is a fascinating 64
mile coastal walking holiday around one of Scotland’s most famous islands and
is often described as Scotland in miniature. It is a wonderful
relaxed walk where you walk along beautiful coastal stretches,
have the option to climb Goat Fell for a spectacular view or
visit the Kings Cave.
After enjoying the one hour ferry journey to the Island you will
book in to your selected accommodation in Brodick. Then you will
travel north - with an option to go over Goat Fell if the weather
is good - and then onto Lochranza via Sannox. The views
looking north up Loch Fyne towards the highlands is fantastic.
Next you
walk south down the west side of the island to Kilmory via
Blackwaterfoot, a wonderful stretch opposite the Mull
of Kintyre.
The southern
end of Arran is less mountainous and the walking close to the
shoreline is very rewarding. Finally you head north again via
Whiting Bay and back to Brodick for your last night. An unforgettable
experience on one of Scotland’s best islands.

"Hi Anna, Can you please pass on to your
colleagues our complete delight at the arrangements you made
for us! We
were blessed
with some decent weather, but our "trek" was
wonderful. The standard of accommodation was very good indeed,
as were the bag transfer arrangements. We have already recommended
you to several friends and will continue to do so. Thanks again."
Austin and Mervyn, UK.
"Neil & team, just to say thank you
- we had a great time on the way in May. You're organisation
of accommodation
and transfers really made
life easy for us - just had to get up each day and walk! And
I'd not expected to meet so many nice people." Paul, UK
