Laighbent  B&B

There is a great variety of walking on Arran,

from a short gentle stroll along the beach to serious mountaneering. 

The  Arran Coastal Way  is 64 miles long and was opened in 2003 by Cameron McNeish.

It is a varied walk which travels through 
some magnificent and inspirational scenery.

Explore Arran is the only dedicated 
baggage transfer based on the island.

There are a couple of ways of doing this walk.
The first, and most convenient from Laighbent is to go to Shiskine golf course.
From there you follow the track out and you will see a sign near the 3rd tee.
 From there go through the gate / fence and follow the path.
This walk should take about an hour and a half to 2 hours all together.

The other way is to start the walk from the car park in the forestry -
about 2 miles north from Laighbent.
Take the left hand path (as you drive in). This is a circular walk and is approx.  3 miles.

Machrie Moor Standing Stones

The walk starts approx. 3 miles away from Laighbent. 
This is a there & back walk  -  approx 3 miles all together.  
The path can get a bit wet in winter. 
There is a car park about 1/3 of a mile south of the Machrie Bay Tearoom. 
You then follow a cart-track through fields. 
Dogs should be kept on a lead.

Machrie Moor

This walk starts from Thunderguy, which is 
approx. 10 miles  up the coast  from Laighbent. 
There is a good path (steep) for 2 miles uphill to the Lochan.

You can ascend Goatfell from Cladach, or from Corrie.
This is nearly a mountain though,
and the last part is a bit of a scramble,
so make sure you take all the proper equipment!

This is a walk that is suitable for everybody.

Eas Mor waterfall near Kildonan. A steep short walk on a very good path.
You can continue through the forestry on to Loch Garbad.

Glen Rosa



There are many Glens on Arran, and all of them provide lovely walks.
