Harris: Walking the Western Isles

The Isle of Harris is home to some wonderful walking country, from the rugged ridges and glens of the Harris Hills to the astonishingly beautiful white sand beaches of the island's west coast, while the remarkably complex eastern coastline is punctuated with sea lochs, headlands, coves and bays. These environments are also full of historical interest and spectacular wildlife. These 25 walking routes explore the island's range of landscapes, including strolls along the west coast beaches, half-day walks on rocky coastal paths, day-long mountain ridge traverses and wild country backpacking routes.
