Things to Do
Anyone who enjoys the outdoors will find everything they need and more for a fantastic holiday at Coorie Doon. Nearby, there are excellent walks to enjoy from Gruline, whether you follow the track along the south side of Loch Ba deep into the glen – a great place to soak up Mull’s mountain views from a lower level and scan the skies for eagles.
Venture down the north side of the loch and instead take in the historic Macquarie Mausoleum, before following the path less trodden through woodland that skirts the loch shore, arriving at lovely pebble beaches, perfect for a picnic lunch. Keep your eyes peeled for the dainty fallow deer that roam the woodland here.
Continuing westwards, Loch na Keal beckons with its veritable wildlife paradise. Golden eagles, white-tailed sea eagles, majestic red deer and elusive otters all call this corner of Mull home. A wildlife tour with a local guide can maximise your chances of seeing them and give you tips on how to watch them responsibly for the remainder of your holiday too.
Anglers will enjoy sea fishing along the coast, or permit fishing in the River Ba and Loch Ba too, with Tackle and Books in Tobermory able to assist with providing permits.
Adventure seekers can secure their adrenaline fix with a gallop along the beach with Killiechronan pony trekking on the west coast, or head eastwards and swap sand for sea with paddle boarding and kayaking available to hire in Salen Bay.
And when you’re ready to swap the wilderness for a taste of the town, Tobermory, the island’s harbour capital, is an easy 20-minute drive to the north, where a great range of restaurants, shops, the distillery, museum and more await.
