A hill and an island! | Smelly socks | 11/05/2022 |
About an hour there and back with a good mooch about on the airy summit. Strong winds and choppy seas added to the excitement | Nicky C | 20/10/2021 |
with Sue | HardenC | 24/05/2021 |
Signposted car park and path, crossed 2h after low tide, plenty leeway. Lovely grassy cliffy island, gorgeous morning, worth the effort from Peterborough ro catch morning tide | RHW | 11/05/2019 |

Signposted path from parking bay at roadend. Undulating moorland to causeway. Probably possible to cross at least 3hrs either side of low tide. Lovely walk on short grass to spectacular airy summit. Brilliant wee island. | Lindsay M | 15/11/2015 |
Path from Ullinish to well formed causeway, presumably natural.
