Mull, Iona & Ulva

Grade: grade 2 - grade 3 (Grade explanation)

About Mull, Iona & Ulva

Mull, the largest of the Inner Hebrides, is a wonderful and colourful haven for wildlife. Combine this with the diversity of land and seascapes, the history and heritage of Iona and Ulva and the result is never to be forgotten.

We aim to explore the diversity of Mull as well as the iconic isle of Iona and the quiet recesses of Ulva. With luck, by moving quietly, we may well have the opportunity for watching, in their natural habitat, some of the renowned wildlife of the isles seal, otter, dolphin, eagle, peregrine, red deer...

By the time we've got a couple of walks under our feet there's a good chance we can tackle Ben More, the highest hill on Mull.

I really appreciate how much respect C~N~Do have for the impact their holidays have on the environment.

Some walking on paths and tracks but also some on rough ground. Some ascent each day, if Ben More is attempted then about 3200ft (950m) ascent is achieved that day. Go on, you can do it.
