Mull has a great variety of scenery, mountainous, of volcanic origin, with a rocky coastline and sandy beaches in parts of the island.  It is of great geological interest.  There are 2 nine hole golf courses, wildlife tours and pony trekking.  There are opportunities for loch, river and sea fishing, boat trips (weather permitting) to Staffa and the Treshnish Islands to see seals, puffins and many other sea birds, plus whales maybe; hill or coastal walking.....or simply doing nothing!

Interesting places to visit include Iona with its historic Abbey, Staffa, famous for Fingal's cave and basalt columns, Duart Castle - home of Clan MacLean, Torosay Castle with its gardens and statuary, plus a narrow gauge railway to/from Craignure, the Isle of Ulva, Mull Little Theatre and much, much more.

Tobermory is the main town on the island with numerous shops and facilities, including a museum, a distillery and chocolate factory.  It also has a good selection of restaurants and pubs.  It is the starting point for many trips - including whale watching excursions.  For the younger generation, it is the location for the children's programme, Balamory.
