The tiny picturesque village of Crinan sits at the north end of the canal but parking is very limited and not recommended with a motorhome.

Day 4

Oban

Gateway to the Hebridean Islands, Oban is a bustling port, popular with Scots and visitors alike.

If you would rather enjoy the culinary delights that Oban has to offer; fresh seafood and fine wine or a dram from the local Distillery without the worry of driving home, why not take the bus! The bus stop is opposite the Caravan Park and takes you on a short journey through the nearby villages to Oban Pier.

Eat on the go at the Seafood Shack on Oban Pier near the Calmac office or sit down in one of the many excellent Seafood Restaurants along the water front. Oban offers a variety of hotels and restaurants to suit all palates from traditional Scottish Fayre to Indian and Chinese food. Oban also boasts its own Chocolate Company situated on the Esplanade; a great place to visit and see the Chocolatiers at work whilst you enjoy the results of their labour in the café!

If you’re feeling energetic, why not climb Battery Hill and visit McCaig’s Folly which overlooks the town? For a more sedate pastime there are Museums and Castles in the surrounding area, as well as two Cathedrals in Oban itself.
