THE WEST COAST OF JURA...


...is not easy to reach on foot. It's a wild coastline of caves, sandy coves, arches, stack and miles of raised beaches. These are the results of a period after the ice ages when the sea level was higher than at present.

The Arc
Natural Arc at the West Coast of Jura


THE NATURAL ARC...

...where the cache is hidden is only one of many arches that you will find on the West Coast of Jura. About 90m Northeast of the arc you'll find one of the many caves.

HOW TO GET THERE

Most likely you will enter The Isle of Jura at Feolin Ferry (visit link).

To get to a good starting point you can use the Jura Bus Service. The bus service runs from Monday to Saturday. For further information call Alex Dunnachie on +44 (0)1496 820314 or +44 (0)1496 820 221.

To get to "The natural Arc" you have to find your own way, as there is no road not even trail leading to it! You can either cross the island from the East ot the West Coast or you can follow the coastline from Corryvreckan Whirlpool (visit link) . It's your choice.
I'd recommend to follow the coastline, as there is much more to explore. If the coastline is your decision, you should be prepared for an overnight stay.

Good spots for campimg you'll find here:

- near a Waterfall at N56 04.274 W05 52.550 (visit link)

- Am Miadar (visit link)

- Bothy at Glengarisdale Bay (visit link)

DEER CULL

During the period 1st July to 15th February (legal season) a deer cull takes place on the island. Some estates do start their season in mid July. Howver most do not usually start till mid August. This autorised cull takes place to control the population of stags, hinds and calves.
For your own safety it is important that you contact individual estates on which you wish to walk.
There is also a Hill Phone service which you should contact - 01496 820151.
