Arran Activities
If you’re planning a family holiday or a weekend break to Arran, you may be surprised by just how much there is to do.
You could choose to tour the island, stopping off at the many places of interest – with a distillery, castles, gardens, museums, heritage centres, craft shops and art galleries. There are plenty of outdoor activities to try as well: hillwalking, fishing, boat trips, paragliding, water skiing, quad biking and cycling. If history is your thing, Arran has lots to offer – from ancient stone circles to 14th century castles.
Arran is also gaining an international reputation as a destination for ‘foodies’, with a wide variety of high quality local produce on offer: from salmon and venison to chocolate and beer. Arran is also the ideal choice for anyone wishing to treat themselves to a spa weekend, enjoy the fresh air and indulge in some of the natural therapies on offer.
There are also plenty of events happening on the island throughout the year – from folk festivals and hill races, to highland games and golf tournaments. Don’t forget your clubs – there are no less than seven golf courses on the island.
It’s also worth pointing out one of the things that you won’t find on Arran – a single set of traffic lights!
