Wandelgids Pathfinder Guides 85 Outer Hebrides | Ordnance Survey

This new title to the Outer Hebrides represents a very welcome addition to our Pathfinder® Guide series: 28 outstanding walks – 23 circular and five there-and-back routes visiting ten islands. The size and nature of the islands lend themselves best to short and half-day walks where unhurried and free-range walking is encouraged and the endless distractions of scenery, wildlife, history and Gaelic cultural heritage are best appreciated and enjoyed at a relaxed pace.

Featured Outer Hebrides walks include:

This wonderful collection of island walks is divided into three chapters:

Lewis and Harris

Berneray, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Eriskay

Barra and Vatersay

There is an illustrated introduction to each of these island groups and planning information on ferries from the mainland and inter-island connections.

Walks are presented sequentially geographically, starting in Stornoway, heading up to the Butt of Lewis and then working southwards along the main touring route down the island chain

In addition to taking you to the most stunning beaches, including at Luskentyre and on Barra, routes lead you to some memorable viewpoints too, atop Ben Laimishader, Beinn Shlèibhe and Heabhal

The rich history and culture of the islands are the focus for walks at Blackhouse Village, Dùn Carloway and Flora MacDonald’s birthplace

And there are some surprises as well, such as the woodland walk at Arinaban, the Time and Tide Bell on Great Bernera, and the fascinating wildlife at RSPB Balranald Nature Reserve
