Walking on Mull
Mull is the second largest island in the Inner Hebrides and so offers a superb range and variety of walking opportunities for visitors.
Indeed, wherever you go on the beautiful island of Mull, there are extensive views of hills and mountains, complemented by stunning coastal views and seascapes.
The most notable of all of the hills and mountains on Mull is the majestic Ben More which is the highest peak on the island and the only one which is a 'Munro, a Scottish peak of 3000 feet or more. It is oftern referred to as the 'last Munro'as it is often left until last by 'Munro-baggers' once they have climbed all of the Munros on the mainland and Skye. When you tackle Ben More, you are actually climbing the full height of the mountain as, unlike many mountains, the ascent begins at sea level, but the effort is most certainly worthwhile. Ben More is a hill walk rather than challenging climb and so around 5 - 6 hours should suffice for the full ascent and descent.
