Top Things to do in The Hebrides
10 Scenic Walking Areas in The Hebrides That You Shouldn't Miss
This beautiful archipelago, where Scottish Gaelic is still spoken, is divided into the Inner and Outer Hebrides and stretches the length of Scotland's west coast. The most visited and largest of the Western Isles is the brooding Isle of Skye, a short ferry ride or bridge away from the mainland. Islay, home to prolific whisky production, is another gem. Highlights of the less visited Outer Isles include stark Lewis and the town of Stornoway, rugged Harris, with sandy beaches and tranquil Barra.

The Fairy Glen is a unique and unusual landscape, a geological wonder on the Isle of Skye. It is situated between the villages of Sheader and Balnacnoc.

Went to explore the stunning landscape and scenery of Fairy Glen, its a magical looking place, situated near Uig. Well worth taking the trouble to go, take stout footwear so you can climb some of the small hills for the views of the surrounding conical shaped hills, its pretty special.

We took on this walk on a fairly fine day, it may me a bit more challenging if the weather isn’t great. The walk takes you through a spectacular forest, where you will see lots of fairy doors and fairies a amongst the trees, placed there I think by local school children. The walk takes you along and up a forest trail before opening up to amazing views and the Duirinish Stone, it stands 5 metres high and weighs in at 5 tonnes, and was placed there in 2000 by local residents using nothing more than ‘ropes, Pully’s and manpower’. High,y recommended walk for all

Nice easy (Relatively) flat walk with coastal views. Fine to walk in trainers and only took around 1 hour return so a good one to do while the sun shines as a let up from all the hills! The car park is very small but the area is not as popular as other touristic areas so we didn’t have a problem parking

Lovely spot to watch the local wildlife and enjoy the views Saw sunbathing seals, fishing herons and a group of harbour porpoise playing directly opposite the hide — well worth the visit!!
10. Hebridean Way
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 16 reviews
The Hebridean Way passes through some of the most spectacular landscape in the UK. It is dual aspect, with a 156-mile long distance walking route and separate 185-mile long distance national cycle network route (NCN 780). Steeped in History, the Hebridean Way stretches along the length of the Outer Hebrides from Vatersay in the south to the Lewis in the north. The route passes through 10 Islands linked by a combination of causeways and ferries, over rugged hills and along dazzling Atlantic coastline. Whether cycling or walking, this is the place to tune into nature, leave your worries behind and enjoy!

An amazing experience to come here. It's hard to believe this is Scotland. It is a white sand beach with crystal clear waters, from the pictures it looks like it could be Bora Bora. If in Barra you must come here!
