Arran Coastal Way - Rucksack readers

Productomschrijving: De Arran Coastal Way is één van de Great Trails van Schotland, en misschien wel de mooiste rondwandeling van het land is. Hij loopt 65 mijl (105 km) rond het eiland Arran in een gedenkwaardige tocht van een week vanuit Brodick. Het is bereikbaar vanuit de buurt van Glasgow met de Ardrossan veerboot. Arran, beroemd als 'Schotland in het klein', is rijk aan landschappen, kastelen, grotten en staande stenen. Het wandelen is gevarieerd, van bergpaden tot verlaten stranden, van kleine wegwandelingen tot rotswandelingen, en op sommige plaatsen is het verfrissend ruig. De dierenwereld van Arran is bijzonder toegankelijk en de bewoners zijn gastvrij.

Engelse omschrijving: The Arran Coastal Way is one of Scotland’s Great Trails, and perhaps the finest circuit walk in the country. It runs for 65 miles (105 km) around the Isle of Arran in a memorable week-long hike from Brodick. It’s accessible from near Glasgow by the Ardrossan ferry. Famous as`Scotland in miniature’, Arran is rich in scenery, castles, caves and standing stones. The walking is varied, from mountain paths to deserted beaches, from minor road-walking to boulder-hopping, and in places it is refreshingly rugged. Arran’s wildlife is uniquely approachable, and its residents welcoming.

Both text and photos have been thoroughly updated after route changes and extra options created by the Coastal Communities Fund project.
