We’re sharing directions, trail conditions and all the logistics for the short or long version of the walk.
Everything you need to know about one of the best walks on Mull. There is so much to see, from incredible basalt columns which are a bit like a miniature Staffa Island, to a cave once inhabited by humans, endless sea views and even a field of hairy coos. We’re sharing directions, trail conditions and how to get to Ulva Island where the walk is located.
Mackinnon’s Cave is deep, dark and mysterious with huge webs strung along the sides of the cliff walls which look like someone has come to decorate for Halloween! Access to the cave is dictated by the tides and there is a rocky scrambly section. We’re sharing directions, difficulty level and what to expect when exploring the cave.
Some places just have that special aura about them and Merrica River is one of those places. With a gorgeous remote sandy beach, crystal clear river for swimming and stunning oceans views it’s a magical place to visit.

If you’re looking to switch it up and bit and try one of Cornwall’s inland walks, this circular route on Bodmin Moor is a great choice.

We’re sharing directions, difficulty level and trail conditions.
This fabulous circular walk offers some of the best coastal views in Cornwall as well as the chance to visit an incredible sea cave with its swimmable tidal pool and of course the wild popular Lands End - without paying the hefty parking fee!
