Description

Jura

From Knockrome, the track runs through the gate above the old school to continue down towards the shore. At the gate beside the wooded stream turn right towards the shoreline. The way ahead has no clear path - take care on the mixture of mud, sand and spongy turf on this section. Near the wood of Garbh Achadh bear left to join a rough track which runs out onto the peninsula towards An Dunan. The rocks around the fort are steep; it is best approached with care from the north-east. Return by same route.
