Carradale is on the East coast of Kintyre, Scotland.

Carradale is on the East Coast of Kintyre (opposite Muasdale Holiday Park as the crow flies) on the B842. The village lies in the centre of a network of forest and coastal walks.

The Network Centre pictured opposite is a starting place for three main walks.

Sally's Walk - 1 mile takes about 40 minutes. Follow green markers - described as "easy going".

Deer Hill Walk - 3 miles takes about 2 hours. The "hill" gives it away but well worth the initial climb. Follow red markers - described as "demanding"

Shore Walk - 6 miles takes about 3 hours. Follow blue markers - another demanding course.

All the walks offer .stunning scenery, outstanding views and lots of nature to spot, but make sure you have suitable footwear.

Further down the road through the village you come to Carradale Harbour.

This is a busy fishing harbour, providing shelter for fishing and recreational vessels.

Seals can be spotted from the harbour swimming near the rocks.

Latest project along the Kintyre Way is a geocaching trail. First geocaching event on the 10th of September at the Network Centre in Carradale from 10 until 4. Aimed at beginners, there will be some GPS units to borrow and experts on hand to help out. If you've heard of geocaching and would like to try it come along. If you've never heard of it and would like to try an exciting high tech treasure hunt then this is the event for you!
