CARSAIG ARCHES

Natural site to discover

The Carsaig arches, located near the town of Craignure on the Isle of Mull, are an impressive natural site. This coastal walk offers spectacular views of the arches from the sea, but is quite challenging due to the rocky terrain and some narrow sections prone to landslides. We recommend following the rocky shoreline to avoid the most dangerous parts. Extreme caution is required if you wish to visit the second arch. The trail is accessible from a parking lot just above the Carsaig quay. The hike takes around 5-6 hours and covers a distance of 13.25 km. There is no public transport to the starting point. Carsaig's arches also provide a habitat for seabirds, and seals can often be seen in the water. It's important to note that visiting the second arch requires mountain hiking experience, great caution and favorable weather conditions.
