1 Farm Tour at Isle of Mull Cheese<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one\u2019s great for every generation, as you tour the farm at Sgiob-ruadh just outside Tobermory and meet its many animal inhabitants, see the cheese-making process in action and \u2013 for older family members especially \u2013 get to see the magic happen with the unique spirits produced here from whey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to seeing the dairy cows that are the beginning of the cheese process, you\u2019ll also meet alpacas, pigs and more, with a botanical garden to wander through too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Art in Nature Trail to Calgary Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Parking at the top of the hill at Calgary Gallery, call in for a map of this fantastic sculpture trail and to pay your entry donations, then let the adventure begin! The trail loops and winds through the hillside woodland with willow tunnels to crawl through and all kinds of sculptures to find, from a cheeky flock of metal oystercatchers to a metal woman gazing out to sea and even a boat made of ropes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trail eventually descends down to bring you out just by the carpark at Calgary beach, where you can refuel with ice cream from the Boat Shed and get stuck into sandcastles and rock pooling beachside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Disc Golf at Aros Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A great rainy day activity if you\u2019re still keen to get outdoors as you\u2019re fairly sheltered amid the leafy woodland of Aros Park. Check out the disc golf course and try your hand at getting the frisbee discs into the baskets. There are also adventure play areas located around the lochan to enjoy too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Go wild with the Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another great family activity for rainy days on Mull. Call into the Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust along the Main Street in Tobermory and discover a world of marine adventure inside its doors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The playroom is open daily and set up like a ship, with fancy dress to try on and a treasure trail through the centre \u2013 crack the clues to answer the questions and find the code you need to open the box of bones! For the grownups \u2013 you\u2019ll see real-life whale and dolphin bones and teeth for a fantastic lesson in adaptation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also hire Explorer Packs with activity sheets, magnifying glasses and more to take out on your wildlife expeditions with you for the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
