Walking in the Outer Hebrides is as varied and different as the islands themselves. You can enjoy a quiet walk on the beach, explore the machair of the west-side and North Lewis. These machairs are some of the best opportunities in Europe to spot migrating birds. You can move on to the rugged mountains of Harris for some serious hill-walking or scrambling, or take a windswept stroll along sea cliffs boasting fresh Atlantic air.
In fact, the Western Isles is one of natures best kept secrets for walking, providing a variety of terrain and scenes to suit everyone.
Local guides and leaflets are available detailing routes and contact points.
