Ardnamurchan is proud to be uncrowded and unhurried.
The sun sets later here and the pace of life is slower. The relaxed pace will soon draw you in as you explore the varied landscape and pretty villages. The area is well known for its local crafts – stained glass, batik, woodcrafts and jewellery are just some of the hand-made local specialities you’ll find.
Ardnamurchan lighthouse is the most westerly point on the British mainland – whales and dolphins are sometimes seen off the coast here. The white sandy beaches are clean and quiet and offer spectacular views to the Small Isles. The Sunart Oakwood near Strontian has a wildlife hide and fantastic information of the natural and human history of the area. History is visible throughout the region - from castles and the remains of cleared villages, to more recent WW2 training areas.
