Walking on Harris and Lewis - 30 day walks exploring the islands (Barrett Richard)(Paperback / softback)

The islands of Harris and Lewis form the largest landmass in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, a place of vast skies, turquoise seas and some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in the UK. Here, white-sand beaches meet rugged Atlantic cliffs, inland moorland stretches towards distant hills, and ancient monuments stand in windswept landscapes shaped by geology and history. From the rocky Harris hills in the south to the sweeping peatlands and archaeological treasures of Lewis in the north, the islands offer a rich and varied walking environment. This guidebook presents 30 graded walks exploring Harris and Lewis, ranging from shorter routes to historical, cultural and geological landmarks to more demanding hill days in the Harris hills. The walks range from 4 to 22km (3–14 miles) and take between 1 and 8 hours to complete, making them suitable for relaxed half-day outings or full-day adventures. Alongside classic highlights such as the Calanais Standing Stones, the guide also includes information on additional walking opportunities on nearby islands, including St Kilda, Berneray and the Shiant Islands, plus a full list of all the Marilyns on Harris, Lewis and St Kilda for peak-baggers. 30 graded walks across Harris and Lewis, carefully selected to showcase the best coastal scenery, inland landscapes and hill terrain on both islands, with options suitable for beginners through to experienced hillwalkers.
