Argyll and Bute

Fairy bridges and mossy woods.

Argyll's wild places are green, wet and wonderful. Walk to a mossy fairy bridge above a waterfall in the woods of Glen Creran, cross the stone arch that carries the road to Seil over the sea, or take a farm walk round Ulva. The Atlantic woodland here is a temperate rainforest, dripping with ferns and lichens. Bring a waterproof, and look out for otters on the shore.
