Ian and Jem’s Insider’s guide to Hawthorn Bank Guest House
Caledonia Way: The famous 234-mile bike ride finishing at Inverness passes through Oban; this is a perfect activity for keen cyclists who want to experience this incredible journey. With a 49-mile section from Oban to Fort Williams that is mainly traffic-free, this is something for cyclists of all abilities to enjoy as there is no rule on how far you have to ride. Enjoy the scenery around you and turn back when you feel the need.
McCaig’s Tower and Battery Hill: Visible by sea, this monument was erected to provide local stonemasons with work during the winter. With construction finishing in 1902, this colosseum Esque build has a circumference of approximately 200 metres. Built on Battery Hill, you will be greeted with a view that will stay with you for a lifetime.
Ganavan Sands: This delightful sandy beach is perfect for a family expedition close to a beautiful coastal walk north of Oban. The water is ideal for open swimming and wildlife enthusiasts. This beach also offers up views of Otters and Seals for some lucky people.
Dunollie Castle: This castle stands tall after being burnt down three times in the early middle ages. With fantastic views of the surrounding area, this is a perfect location to visit for a combination of history and scenery.
Dunstaffnage Castle and Chapel: Steeped in Scottish history, Dunstaffnage has stood the test of time. Once a place of Royal importance, the Castle offers an incredible learning experience. Understand its significance through seeing its strategic positioning and taking in the sublimity of the curtain wall. This site is also home to a 13-th century chapel.
