Oban to Taynuilt
A station-to-station walk
Steep
12
MI
A very pleasant and easy route. A pleasant and easy-to-follow walk that climbs steeply out of Oban past McCaig's Tower (with a flight of steps), then follows footpaths and tracks through fields before a long, very quiet single-track road through Glen Lonan, alongside the river, woods and hills, with Ben Cruachan in view. Mostly tarmac and which can be hard on the feet over 12 miles. Passes McCaig's Tower above Oban. Red deer, buzzards and dragonflies can be seen along Glen Lonan.
Warnings: The first road out of Oban has a fair amount of traffic, requiring crossing sides to stay on the outside of bends. Apart from a short section at the Oban end, the route is all on roads.
