Based in the Scottish Borders, Eildon Ramblers is a friendlywalking group for people of all ages. We offer year-round walks to suit avariety of tastes.
The Mull of Galloway is 25 miles from the hotel and it takes 45 mins to drive.
We start the walk in front of the cafe terrace and go through the gate onto the cliff top. The grassy path keeps by the fence and the drop is unprotected. We pass a strange memorial called Kennedy’s cairn, just off the path. The coastal path continues to West Tarbert Bay, primarily down. We then walk back up the road to the lighthouse.
This walk is part of our Away Weekend Event, and is fully subscribed by the Event attendees.
Circular walk, grade C, leisurely. There is some uneven terrain, therefore boots and poles are recommended
