About trip

Great Bernera is the largest of many islands in Loch Roag off the shores of Lewis, connected to its larger neighbour by a road bridge since 1953. An exploration of the island on foot makes for a grand half day; the route follows faint and sometimes wet paths up the west side of the island to the magnificent beach at Bostadh before returning along the quiet minor road.

Terrain

Waymarked route but across rugged, boggy and sometimes pathless ground. Return along minor road.
