A sleepy island predominantly inhabited by fishermen, Oban and Stewart Island is the perfect place for visitors to escape the stress of New Zealand’s busy cities and bask in the beautiful nature synonymous with the island. As well as fishing, the main pastime is birdwatching or animal spotting; along the shoreline lie a myriad of unusual animals such as Cape Pigeons, mollymawks and even penguins can be found dotted around the coast. Whilst witnessing the wildlife in the great outdoors, it makes sense to embark on one of the intriguing walking trails scattered around the beautiful terrain. The views from the top of some of the challenging hills and mountains are breathtaking enough to make the journey there worthwhile. After a long day outside, savour some of the delicious food served at the wide range of restaurants, with seafood typically being the special of the day.
Oban is so small that it is possible to cover the entirety of it by foot, which is the desirable option considering the alluring walking trails and picturesque views.
The port of Craignure is the terminus of the crossing between Oban on the Scottish mainland and the Isle of Mull. Situated on the east coast, the port sits just off the A849 in between Scallastle Farm to the north and Lochdon to the south. Pay and display parking is available outside the terminal, whereas free parking can be found just a couple of hundred metres down the road. There is also a bus shelter and taxi rank opposite the building. The village has a population of roughly two hundred and boasts two magnificent castles, called Torosay and Duart, which are well worth seeing. The former was completed in the 19th Century whereas the latter dates back to the 1200s.
