Travelling
to Mull by Road Click Here to Close
The shortest route for those coming by car from the south is either
by the M6/A74/M8/A82 to Crianlarich and Oban, or via Stirling and Callander
to Crianlarich if travelling from the east coast. Whether you reach Oban
by road or rail, the next stage is to take the car ferry to Craignure.
Alternatively,
coming by way of Glencoe, Ballachulish Bridge and Corran Ferry, you can
use the Lochaline - Fishnish car ferry: since this cannot be booked, at
busy times you should not travel too late in the day. Timetables and other
information can be obtained from Caledonian MacBrayne (Oban), Telephone
01631 562285. If you plan to take your car onto the Oban - Craignure ferry
you should book both ways during the summer.
Which
ever route you take towards Scotland's beautiful west coast you will pass
through some of the most spectacular scenery in Britain. You will need to check with your accommodation provider, what time they will expect you to arrive so that you can make the necessary Ferry booking to suite.
If
you are travelling from Oban to Craignure for your holiday on Mull, you should turn right off
the ferry linkspan and head towards Salen and Tobermory. If you are travelling
on the Lochaline to Fishnish ferry you should travel up the ferry road
to the T junction and then make a right turn towards Salen and Tobermory.
Having
turned right you will eventually arrive at a village named Salen travel
straight through the village towards Tobermory and in about half a mile
you will be travelling alongside the river inlet with the water on your
right. After about 500 mtrs the road goes sharp right over a bridge towards
Tobermory and there is another road that goes straight on. For Tobermory follow the road to the right over the bridge.
For Dervaig you should follow the road that goes straight on at the bridge. This is signposted for Dervaig. This road is eleven miles long and as
you come to the far end of it you will see a track on your right signposted
for Mull Little Theatre. Carry on past this for about 500 meters and you will come to the T junction. Turn right for Dervaig Village or left for Calgary or Torloisk.
