The Coast
to Coast Spectacular
Any day start April to October
The Coast to Coast route passes through some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland. Starting from the east, the
route takes you from the North Sea at Inverness across the highlands
to the Atlantic and Ardnamurchan Point, ie the most westerly point
on the Scottish mainland. Returning south back via the lovely Isle
of Mull, this route is truly spectacular. Highlights include the Great
Glen Way, the Caledonian Canal and magnificent Glenfinnan.
Whilst many may consider the west to east option preferable due to prevailing
winds, we much prefer the east to west route as the scenery becomes
more and more magnificent as you go west, culminating in an unforgettable
experience as you approach the Atlantic, through the wilderness of
Ardnamurchan.
