The Aros Park is a foresty commission park on the outskirts of Tobermory. There are various different trails through the park, including one which starts in Tobermory and has stunning views of Calve Island and back to Tobermory.
There's also a small loch in the park, with a path around it - and it's stocked with fish. There's much plant and bird life - we saw a huge variety of wildflowers, and saw and heard many birds including a cuckoo and a woodpecker.
If you don't want to walk from Tobermory, there's a car park with ample parking and a good sign with a map, and a supply of small map leaflets showing all the trails for visitors to take. There's also a 'barbecue area' which we didn't use - but plan to use next time we go back. Hopefully the smoke from the barbecue will keep away the dreaded midgies! read more
