WALKING
Walking on the island is a very popular pastime, with many visitors
to the island attempting the challenging Paps of Jura or exploring
the uninhabited west coast.
Please note that at certain times of the year Deer stalking is carried
out and for your own safety it is important that you contact individual
estates on which you wish to walk.

The perfect Day Trip
Jura House Gardens are large organic walled gardens surrounded by
woodland, fields and beaches, with walks along the rocky coastline

different moods - lovely perennial borders, exotic Australasian corner
and a burn stepping down to a wildflower meadow with tea tent and
plants for sale. A visit to this lovely oasis on the south shore is
well worth it.
