Sunset over Jura

Golf can be found at Tarbert, Machrihanish and Southend where it is possible to play on some of the best links in the country, but be warned it is normally very busy during the summer.

The archaeology of the area is very interesting, with a Heritage Centre in Campbeltown and the famous Kilmartin Centre just over one hours drive away towards Oban.

If you are lucky you might spot golden eagles, otters and dolphins. Buzzards are almost as common as sparrows here! If all else fails, there are always the Crubasdale cats and chickens!

Pony trekking is available at several locations in Kintyre.

For those interested in gardens the Kintyre peninsula offers a mild climate and consequently there are some well known gardens within a reasonable distance. Crubasdale Lodge is currently reclaiming their garden from the wild (or - fighting the bracken!) a potentially varied garden complex, so you may be interested in seeing a garden in the making. There will also be plants for sale, depending on the season.

Sunset over Cara

There are many craft workshops in the area to suit most tastes and Crubasdale Crafts offers craft tuition to suit the individual or groups. You could try your hand at bobbin lace, wool spinning, or felt making, something different to do if the weather is inclement.
