The Udal Peninsula is one of the richest human and natural environments of the Outer Hebrides. It is an exciting and beautiful time capsule preserving centuries of human and natural impacts. At its heart is the 'machair' - a Gaelic word meaning ‘fertile plain’. For thousands of years families have farmed and continue to farm this rich landscape.
Explore this peninsula where sea and sand meet under a magic, open sky. Follow shorelines and paths through flower-studded machar to an old cemetery. Climb a hill for fabulous views, and return via coves and ancient archaeological sites that rank as some of the most important in the Outer Hebrides.
A walking tour App exploring the Udal and its heritage and environment, as told by members of the community, is available to download free to your tablet or phone HERE, via the izi.travel storytelling platform. You must first download the izi.travel App to then download the audio tour.
