We have a couple of days in Oban coming up shortly, what is there to see and do whilst we are there? 🙂

We are taking bikes, but we are looking for something to do, off the bikes.

pop in for a wee dram

Go over to Mull on the ferry and down to Iona. Ride or bus.

For food you must goto the Seafood Temple, one of the best places I have ever eaten without a doubt. Look it up on tripadvisor too the reviews speak for themselves and extremely good value for money. Sat here dribbling just thinking about my last visit.

The pancake shop was pretty good. Huuuge feckoff pancake with all sorts of treats stacked on top.

A walk up to the folly to walk of said pancakes is nice.

Tigh Na Truish

Bridge over the Atlantic

Seil

Sea life tours in mental powerboats.

Kerrera for cycling and walking.

Loads of Prehistoric stuff towards Lochgilphead and crinan.

Ben Cruachan and power station tour.

Ben Cathro is based v.close to Oban if you fancy some tuition/coaching or a guide.

Sea Kayaking? We went out with Sea Freedom a couple of years ago – excellent!

Kerrera for cycling and walking.

+1, I’ll buy it when I win the lottery

sunset up at McGaigs (sp?) Tower. Falls of Laura at mid tide, trip out to the Corryvreckan.

oban whiskey is my favourite since a visit which is bad as it’s not cheap. but its lovely.
iona and staffa were good, staffa ok the cave is impressive but not sure it’s everyones cup of tea. iona for me was magical, very spiritual and i’m not usually.

Trip to Mull and then your pick of Iona / Staffa / Tobermory
Walk / cycle round Kerrera
Cruachan visitor centre (or climb it)
Sea Kayaking
Sea.fari trip from Easdale to Corryvreckan. Check their website for the best dates for a spring tide
