A tour of the Eaval is extremely worthwhile. The approach is via the Strait of Loch Euphort, along the banks of Loch Obisary and past the Burabhal. Although it only reaches a height of 347 m, there is a great view of the countless lakes and bays in the area during the ascent and from the summit. You can also observe the diversity of birds on the island.

Mountain biking

The highest point on North Uist gives an amazing panorama of the whole island and the hills of Harris & Lewis to the north. Perfect to climb up on a summers evening for supper away from the midges
