Things to do and local events on Mull
Things to do
Mull has the most amazing wildlife and scenery and attracts visitors from all over the world. There are two castles, Torosay and Duart, both within walking distance of the Inn. There is also the historic island of Iona off the tip of the Ross of Mull, Fingal's cave on Staffa, Tobermory with its brightly coloured waterfront buildings and distillery and quaint towns of Dervaig and Bunessan.
The Isle of Mull has great outdoor activities to offer and we are sure you will find something that you like or want to try your hand at. There are plenty of hikes, ranging from just an hour or so to full day adventures. Mull is brilliant for cycling, playing golf, bird-watching, whale-spotting, fishing or seeing and experiencing the numerous events that take place on the island throughout the year.

Our friendly staff will always try to help you find something that's right for you and after you return from your day out there's a warm malt whisky, hearty dinner and roaring fire in the bar waiting for you.
Alternatively, if you just want to escape it all, relax and enjoy the peacefulness of the island; Mull is perfect for that too.
