Summary
Mull narrows in its central part to a slender neck, and only 4km separates the head of the sea-loch Loch na Keal from the Sound of Mull. This linear coast-to-coast walk thus crosses the island in the space of a short walk - though it is very wet underfoot in places. The walk requires either a drop-off at the start, a taxi ride for the return or doubling the distance by walking back - there is no public transport to the start. Another alternative for a longer walk would be to add the Cnoc na Sroine loop which brings you part way back, then retrace steps back to the start.
