Arran Coastal Way Overview
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.
Macs Adventure offers a wide range of itineraries from 4 to 7 days of walking on a self guided basis. Every holiday we offer features hand-picked overnight accommodation in high quality B&B’s, country inns, and guesthouses, each is unique and offers the highest levels of welcome, atmosphere and local cuisine, daily door to door baggage transfer, detailed map and information pack as well as emergency telephone support.
