MACHRIHANISH
Machrihanish Bay is the home of the famous Machrihanish Bay Golf Club and it is certainly one of the most idyllic parts of the Kintyre peninsula, with its spectacular panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean there are few more beautiful sunsets to be seen anywhere in the world
CAMPBELTOWN
A beautiful little town set around a picturesque harbour on the sea loch. There is a lovely walk along the loch side with its palm trees and pitch and putt! Campbeltown boasts numerous shops, galleries and craft outlets, restaurants, take-aways and pubs. The Springbank distillery is well worth a visit. Campbeltown is set on the Gulf Stream, the temperature is generally above the UK average, as witnessed by the many streets and gardens with unprotected palm trees.
DAVAAR ISLAND
and the cave painting of the crucifixion (painted in 1887)
The island can be reached by foot along a stony causeway during low tide. The walk is quite tough along the stones and rocks but it is well worth the effort and there are excellent views over to Campbeltown and surrounding area from the Island.
TARBERT
..a small fishing village with a picturesque harbour. Good walks from village to Tarbert Castle and a lovely gallery alongside the harbour.
SADDELL ABBEY
The whole Sadell area is very beautiful. There is the visitors centre, the castle and the bay and all are a MUST to see. The castle is no longer open to the public but it sits alongside saddell Bay which is a wonderful stretch of golden sand, perfect for lazing and picnics. The beach is where Sir Paul McCartney filmed the video for his hit song MULL OF KINTYRE accompanied by the Campbeltown Pipers.
