Guided Walking in Britain

Isle of Arran, Scotland

The Isle of Arran lies at the edge of the Gulf Stream on Scotland's western coast thus boasting a climate that allows palm trees to grow in coastal gardens. Inland one finds beautiful and rugged mountain terrain and remote glens while near the coast are castles, gardens and quaint villages. The island is easily accessible by ferry from the Scottish mainland at Ardrossan Harbour - just an hour's train ride from Glasgow. 

2012 Walking Holidays: Classic Walking Holidays operate weekly starting every Saturday from April through October. Walkers stay at the same hotel for seven nights. Days start and end with a short bus ride so the walks are in the most spectacular parts of the island.  Three different guided walks are offered each day. You choose according to your fitness and ability.
