Easter breaks by Loch Awe in Argyll

by

Ederline Estate on Loch Awe is the perfect rural getaway with Easter holidays round the corner. A great time to get away with the kids and blow the winter blues away! The days are getting longer giving you time to enjoy all the outside activities Ederline Estate has to offer. Kayaking, paddle boarding and rowing boats with excellent fishing on the numerous lochs for wild brown trout or pike on the lower lochs. If the family are up for a walk into the hills on the estate we have a wonderful remote picnic hut which is a great place to head for with a picnic and you will not see another person!.  Argyll at this time of year is in its glory with all the rhodies and azaleas in full bloom with some amazing local gardens open to the public at Arduaine Gardens(www.arduainegarden.org) which is next to the excellent Loch Melfort Hotel ( www.lochmelfort.co.uk), Ardmaddy Castle (www.gardens-of-argyll.co.uk), Crarae Gardens (nts.org.uk) and Duntrune Castle (www.duntrunecastle.com). Argyll has endless woodland with ancient oak walks through Knapdale Forest and Taynish Nature reserve.  My favourite time of year and not a midge in site!

October at Ederline

by

Deer

We can see clearly now the rain has gone!! It has been a very wet month but finally the rain has gone and it is stunning. The roaring of the red deer rut in the mornings and evenings can be heard echoing around the hills above the cottages. The autumn array of colours are at their best.

Ben Cruchan

by

We climbed Ben Cruchan on Friday September18th. About an hours drive to the foot from the cottages.Well worth the climb with amazing views from the top of Ben Cruchan. We left from the railway station and went up through the woods and upto the left hand side of the dam. We left the resevoir on our right then up and up!! It took us 2 hours and 30 minutes to the top. Then we went round the horseshoe and back down the other side of the resevoir, then back down to the railway station where we left the car. The return journy taking in another Munro took about four hours. It is now Tuesday and I have only just started to unstiffen but it was worth every ache!!
