About this walk
Calgary Bay is an easy 4 km out-and-back walk with 80 m of ascent, taking 1 to 1.5 hours. It starts at Calgary Bay (grid reference NM 377 515).
Calgary Bay is a wide beach of white shell sand on the north-west coast of Mull, and the place the Canadian city was named after. The walk crosses the beach, then follows a path round the headland past the remains of crofts cleared in the 19th century.
Behind the bay, the Calgary Art in Nature trail winds through the woods past sculptures.
