Travel to and around

Mull is well served by ferry and bus routes so you’ll be able to get here easily no matter where you’re travelling from.

Getting to

Ferry

Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) operates three car ferry services to the island. The most popular route connects Oban with Craignure, the island's main port which is located on its eastern coast. This service runs roughly every couple of hours throughout the day, but if you are planning on taking a vehicle it's advisable to book your place in advance!

Cycling

Mull is a great place for cycling with most of the roads all single-track providing lots of amazing scenery along the way. Cycle along the 10 mile stretch of double track road from Craignure to Salen with another four mile section leading into Tobermory.

The main roads to Tobermory and Fionnphort can get very busy with ferry traffic. The south of the island also operate lots of buses and coaches enroute to Fionnphort for Iona so make sure to keep yourself safe while on the road.

A tip from your local expert

Duart Castle

Visit Duart Castle, the 13th century ancestral home of Clan Maclean. It's the perfect attraction for day trippers and holiday makers alike. Surrounded by magnificent views of the sound of Mull, on a clear day there are views up to Ben Nevis.
