Walking

There are plenty of walking routes on the island, some that are clearer to follow than others, which offer the ideal opportunity to get away from all civilisation and explore the more remote areas of the island. 

A green paperback book of walks on Jura can be purchased on the ferry or in the bookshop in Bowmore on Islay which has maps and instructions for around 30 routes. 

 

Wildlife watching 

There is an abundance of wildlife on the island including otters, dolphins, seals, red deer, hen harriers, golden eagles, buzzards, gannets, wild goats and lots more. It is almost impossible to drive from one end of the island to another without seeing at least the red deer, seals and buzzards.

Sailing
