Launched in 2006 and now a registered charity, the waymarked Kintyre Way criss-crosses the Kintyre peninsula,

unwinding along 100 miles from Tarbert in the north to Southend. 

The Kintyre peninsula has an extraordinary wealth and diversity of landscapes and habitats.

Terrain conditions on the Way vary from public highways and forest tracks to moderate and sometimes challenging foreshore and hill walks. 

There are seven graded and waymarked sections, each offering its own variety of natural attractions and levels of effort, from serious hiking to gentle rambles.

Due to the variety of distances involved, these sections can be enjoyed together, individually, or even as much shorter journeys . . . and always at your own leisure and pace. 

Furry friends are, of course, very welcome but please do keep your dog under control, especially near livestock or the abundant wildlife.

Cyclists should note not all sections are always suitable for two wheels.

Please be respectful as you travel: the route passes through places of important historical interest, environmental importance and, of course, outstanding beauty.

Linking several small villages and the towns of Tarbert and Campbeltown, there is a full range of services and facilities for visitors, including accommodation,

places to eat and drink, a forward baggage courier and public transport options.
