ジュラのおすすめツーリングルート

This is the point where you need to leave the car and walk approximately 7km to Barnhill, previous home of George Orwell where he wrote his famous novel 1984.

A small layby north of Tarbert on the A846. Useful for the walk in to Loch Tarbert and the Cruib Lodge bothy.

A nice deeper spot that's good for a swim just downstream of the bridge.

Corran Sands or Loch na Mile is a wonderful golden corral sand beach.

The Jura Distillery was established in 1810 but declined, it was brought back to life in 1963 and has become a world class whisky producer. It's a major employer on the island with almost every family having a direct connection. You can visit the distillery and take a tour but please book ahead as they only take a maximum of ten on each tour. You can also visit the shop. Open Monday to Friday all year.

The Jura Passenger ferry carries people and dogs between Craighouse on Jura and Tayvallich on the Scottish mainland. It runs from end of March to the end of September each year. Crossings take a bit less than an hour and there are normally three or four crossings per day. It's worth booking ahead.

Barnhill is famous for being rented out by George Orwell in the late 1940s and being the location where he wrote 1984. You can still rent out the cottage for holidays, amazingly from the same family as then. It is said to have barely changed from over 70 years ago.

A friendly and conveniently placed family run hotel at the main ferry port on Islay. You can stay here and use it for a base to explore Islay & Jura. Or stop at the Port Bar to try one of the local malt whiskies. The restaurant serves tasty local seafood and locally reared meat.
