Best walks locally are up Craigmore leaving from Arisaig station it will
take you an hour to go up to the summit and back or longer if you want ! Down
Rhu, walk past the pier and continue until you find a lovely secluded little
beach [pictured above] and Larrochmore Gardens in March April May and June
, all these are short exercise walks..others are detailed in the folder or just
ask me, there are plenty more. A popular walk is to drive to the end of Bracora,
walk across to Tarbet and take the Bruce Watt ferry back in to Mallaig [ then
somehow you will need to get to your car] phone first to be sure of a boat place
There is also fishing locally, hire a boat on Loch Morar or try the Caimbe burn and hill Lochs for brown trout.
