The Outer Hebrides - also known as the Western Isles - are a 130-mile long island chain on the northwest fringe of the UK. The main islands are Lewis and Harris, North and South Uist, Benbecula and Barra, but there are scores of smaller islands. Nearly all offer superb walking in an unrivalled setting.
Magnificent beaches with perfect white sand, usually deserted, stretch for mile upon mile on their western coastlines. The islands also offer a unique culture, being the stronghold of the Gaelic language, and superb wildlife. Harris has a range of unfrequented but spectacular mountains whilst Lewis, South Uist, and to a lesser extent some of the other islands, all offer fine hillwalking. Yet another attraction are the archaelogical remains found throughout the islands - a treaure trove of prehistory.
Our walks cater for all tastes from easy family rambles, through cross-country hikes to ascents of mighty Munro summits. The site also features an extensive accommodation directory, including hotels and self catering cottages.
