Mull Willow offers the unique opportunity to spend some time on a small working willow croft (farm.) The croft is nestled between between sea and mountains - the bay and the sea flank you on the South and West, and to the East lie the magnificent Burg and Ben More. It's a wonderful little place for nature lovers to visit. In the past, willows were grown on every croft, and the willow was used extensively in both fishing and agriculture. Later, these traditional skills started to die out as plastic took over. Now, we grow around three thousand willow plants and together they provide over a quarter of a million rods. It's a real pleasure to take time and wander amongst the growing willow. Please visit our website for more info.
