Leisure
Facilities -
Sailing
and boating -Many people come to Ardfern because it is
a great place for sailing and boating. The Ardfern Marina
is located near the head of Loch Craignish and has a good
slipway and all the facilities required for top quality sailing.
Fuel, chandlery, equipment, fishing tackle etc is all available
seven days a week Operating out of Ardfern is Craignish Cruises.
Trips and charters are arranged to explore the wonderful ruggged
coastline and numerous islands and inlets. Not to be missed
is the world famous Corryvreckan whirl pool - the third largest
whirl pool in the world. Only three miles drive over to the
other side of the peninsula lies the Craobh Haven Marina.
This has similar facilities to the Ardfern marina as well
as charter cruises. Alternatively the loch offers some truly
magical kayaking opportunities.
Local
foods The
quality of the local produce is excellent. Fish can be caught
in the local lochs and the sea. Lobsters, langoustines and
hand dived scallops can be bought locally. Delicious Beef
and lamb brought up on the lush Argyll grass, can be bought
from the village shop or at the Sunday farmers market. A Barbecue
is available for cooking outdoors. The village shop / post
office is very well stocked with a wide selection of foods
as well as drinks and wines.
Local eating places If you dont want to cook, Ardfern
has two good eating places: The Galley of Lorne which is the
local pub and restaurant which is open all year round. Alternatively
during the tourist season the Crafty Kitchen, which is a gift
shop/cafe serves fantastic mouth watering food. Although it
does not have a drinks license, you can take your own bottle.
You have to try the Scallops from Islay - absolutely heaven!
Further afield is the restaurant at Craobh Haven (3 miles)
or the Kilmartin Hotel (6 miles)
Other
things to do: There are so many things to do in this part
of the world. If you are in to formal gardens, Arduaine is
only 4 miles up the road. Information on other gardens of
Argyll can be accessed here. There is an Arts and Crafts Festival
in the summer - 17th July to 3rd August 2008. More information
can be found here. You could cycle along the tow path of the
Crinan canal or those more adventurous may want to explore
the numerous cycle paths / tracks provided by the Forestry
Commission. Day trips to the islands including Islay, Jura
and Mull are all possible departing either from Kennacraig
or Oban.
If
it is wet outside for too long there is always the Indoor
sports centres and swimming pools at Lochgilphead and at Oban.
Pony trecking and horse riding can be organised over the hill
from Ardfern towards Lunga estate. Golfers can play at Oban,
Lochgilphead, Inverary or the world famous Machrihanish or
Loch Lomond courses. There is the Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary
at Oban. The nearest large sandy beach is at Crinan Ferry
but there are numerous gently shelving pebbly/shingle bays
within walking distance. It is also well worth the drive along
Loch Sween to Kilmory Bay.
