The town of Oban is known as the 'Gateway to the Isles' with regular ferries to the beautiful inner Hebridean islands of Mull, Iona, Coll, Islay, Colonsay and Tiree.
Oban itself has much to offer including a whisky distillery, 18 hole golf course, whale, dolphin and seal watching trips, a sports centre (only five minutes walk from Avalon), diving and sea kayak centres. As the 'Seafood Capital of Scotland', Oban has an excellent range of restaurants many of which serve freshly caught fish. There are many beautiful local walks within the town taking in the surrounding countryside, waterfront and town highlights such as McCaig's Tower and Pulpit Hill. Many visitors particularly appreciate the local award-winning beach at Ganavan Sands.
Argyll has a vast number of wonderful sights including the Crinan Canal, the historic Kilmartin Glen and museum, the Bridge over the Atlantic and the nearby isles of Kerrera, Luing, Seil and Easdale (home of the world stone skimming championships!). Other attractions within a short distance of Oban include the Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary, Cruachan Power Station and Visitor Centre and numerous forest walks and cycle routes. For the more adventurous the famous Glen Coe and its many Munroes are not too far away.
