Our Area Oban, known as the 'Gateway' to the isles off the west coast is easily accessible by bus, train, boat or car. The isle of Mull is only a 40 minute ferry ride away, which means that on a day trip you can visit such sights as the Abbey at Iona or Fingal's Cave. There are many more such sights on Mull. Further to the north is Ben Nevis, along with Aonach Mhor and Fort William. To the south lies Kilmartin (home of the famous standing stones), and Crinan Canal. There is a plethora of places to visit in the area, such as Inveraray Castle, The Falls of Lora, Cruachan Power Station (the Hollow Mountain) and A World in Miniature to name but a few. There is plenty of opportunity to take part in sporting activities like sailing, golf, tennis, fishing, cycling etc. The gardens open to the public ( Arduaine, Achnaclioch, Ardchatten Priory and Crarae near Inveraray) are a joy in the summer months for everyone. Evening entertainment ranges from Ceilidhs to eating out at local pubs and restaurants. Oban has a wide variety of shops for your pleasure. These range from Supermarkets to small family owned specialty shops (butchers, bakers, fishmongers etc.) |
