Walking The Hebridean Way
The 155 mile (247km) Hebridean Way offers walkers the opportunity to experience the magic of Scotland's Outer Hebrides in one inspirational journey.
The waymarked route stretches 247km (155 miles) from Vatersay to Stornaway, linking ten major islands of the archipelago by means of causeways and two ferry crossings: Vatersay, Barra, Eriskay, South Uist, Benbecula, Grimsay, North Uist, Berneray, Harris and Lewis. Suitable for most walkers with a moderate level of fitness, it can be completed in 8–14 days and is rich in natural, historical and cultural interest.
This guidebook by Richard Barrett presents the Hebridean Way in 10 stages of 16–35km (10–22 miles), plus two additional stages to extend the route to the Butt of Lewis in line with future plans.
The detailed route description is accompanied by 1:50,000 OS mapping and stunning photography
The introduction offers an overview of the islands' geology, history, plants, and wildlife as well as comprehensive practical advice for walking the route, such as when to go, how to get there (and back), and what to take. Accommodation listings can be found in the appendices.
