Things to do before or after Oban Lesbian Weekend

Trip to the Island of Kerrera

 

  • We used to have this on our itineray.  Kerrera is just a 5 minute ferry ride away.
  • Walk 30-40 minutes to the Gallanach Ferry terminal or park near the sailing club.  Parking at the terminal  is very restricted and priority for locals to the islands.

 

  • On Kerrera you can swim or walk a 5 ish very steep walk to the farm shop.  The rewards at the top of the hill include an amazing view over Oban, home made icecream, straight from Kerrera Cows, farm eggs and more.

     

    Day trip to Tobermory on the Isle of Mull

     

    • We strongly recommend not going to Tobermory on the Saturday of OLW, as it's 4 hours of travelling between the bus and ferry, and you'd be likely to miss our ceilidh or be too tired for it!
    • The bus to Tobermory is just as you get off the Mull ferry.  It's a picturesque ride but if you get travel sick, please don't eat before it!
    • Tobermory has coloured houses, a distillery, a beautiful bay to swim in, lively pubs, walks and more.

     

    Day trip to Easdale Island to the isle of Luing

    You need a car for this one!  Cross over the famous atlantic bridge, stop for a pint or lunch at the Tigh na Truish pub.

    It's a tiny 3 minute boat ride to Easdale island, where you will see their beautiful quarries and gold flecks in the slate.

    Easdale hosts the world championships of stone throwing!
