About Balnahard

Balnahard perches on Mull's Atlantic edge, reached via ferry to the island then single-track roads through moorland. The B8035 winds west from the main A849, requiring careful driving on narrow lanes with passing places. About four EV charging points serve this remote corner. The settlement offers access to wild beaches where Atlantic seals regularly bask on black basalt rocks.
