This page is under development. Please check back
for more walks soon.
Clisham Ridge- Grading Hard - Challenging
mountain climb for experienced hill-walkers only - 9 miles - 8
hours - OS Explorer 456
An Cliseam on the Isle of Harris at 799 m
is the highest mountain in the Outer Hebrides and the
archipelago's only Corbett. Ascend via the path from the car
park on the A859. The most northerly peak is Mullach an Langa
(614m) and from here the ridge runs south over Mulla-Fo-Thuath
(720m) to Mulla-Fo-Dheas (743m) where the ridge turns east to An
Cliseam before dropping to Tomnabhal (552m). There are scattered
crags on this ridge, particularly on the north faces of the
higher tops.
Traigh an Iar Beach Walk Grading
Easy, 2 miles - 60 mins - OS Explorer 455
Follow the A859 to just east of Horgabost and
Glen Horgabost, turning off this road to reach the car park. If
driving from Rodel turn left, if travelling from Tarbert turn
right. Start at the car park and walk back up the car park entry
road to the main A859. From here walk a short distance west
until you cross a bridge and then veer off onto the grassy
machair on the north side of the road as you make your way on to
Traigh an Iar beach. Please avoid the land on the south of the
road as this is crofting land and please keep all dogs on a
lead. Walk along the beach and then head north, back up on to
the headland to climb Macleod's Stone which provides a
spectacular viewpoint over to the Isle of Taransay and the North
Harris hills. The walk continues over the machair heading back
towards the A859 and on to the car park.
