Walk the beautiful and unexplored wild Atlantic coast of the Kintyre peninsula with the Kintyre Way. Along 100 miles (161km) you’ll discover hidden coves, deserted beaches, woods and forests, castles, fishing villages and an abundance of wildlife. The route is broken down into seven sections, providing four to seven days’ worth of walking, depending on your pace. There’s a variety of walking terrain, from serious hiking to gentle rambles. Launched in the summer of 2006, the Kintyre Way is classified as one of Scotland’s Great Trails.

The Kintyre Way starts from the scenic hillside behind Tarbert. If you walk up towards Tarbert Castle you will find information boards and the starting point for this magnificent 100 mile walk.
