Help connect Oban
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Oban’s Slow Ways.

Starting from Oban, the route headed steeply uphill towards and past McCaig's Tower, with glimpses of the view back over the bay and islands. After descending through woods and past some new houses, the route arrived in Taynuilt....

I wouldn't walk this one, for fear of getting quite wet. There's a good ferry though....
