10 ISLANDS, 6 CAUSEWAYS, 2 FERRIES AND 1 UNFORGETTABLE ADVENTURE
From Vatersay to the Butt of Lewis, the Hebridean Way is a truly iconic island experience.
Spanning up to nearly 200 miles across 10 breathtaking islands, the routes boasts rugged hills and dazzling Atlantic coastline, with plenty of pit stops to rest, refuel, restock and repair along the way (see our Hebridean Way map).
You’ll be immersed in the stunning scenery, wildlife and heritage unique to this ancient archipelago, and also discover a culture very different to mainland Scotland. Or anywhere else for that matter.
Islanders have a warm and welcoming integrity. Gaelic is often the first language spoken and there remains a sense of tradition deeply embedded in every island you’ll traverse.
With 2 separate routes for walking and cycling, the Hebridean Way is an awe inspiring trail defined not only by the rich and diverse landscape - but by the helpful and friendly folk you’ll meet as you go.
