The Charcoal Huts - Isle of Bute

Our Huts are located within the Moss Wood area of Bute Forest - a mixed birch and alder wood that extends up the hillside to the west of the A886 that connects the Rhubodach Ferry to Port Bannatyne and Rothesay. Moss Wood has a range of facilities. Park on the shore-side where the coast can be enjoyed or at the main entrance, and take a walk up through Moss Wood along the Poetry Trail. A steep walk in places, the Poetry Trail is a loop punctuated with places to stop and read, to stop and think. Read nature poetry from throughout the ages, stop at the Blether Stane, or taking the spur to the Viewing Point back south across the Kyles. Moss Wood connects to the West Island Way – take the Poetry Trail and the spur to the Viewing Point – and then take the Stag’s Trod further up (steeply) till you reach the West Island Way. From there, head south towards Port Bannatyne or north along the boundary of the Community Forest. From the viewing point, you can also explore interesting heritage features such as the old WW2 bunker, kayak shelter, Balnakailly settlement, and the SSSI oak woodland.

Overview

With 40,000 unique columns of basalt rock dating back around 60 million years, the Giant’s Causeway is an amazing natural wonder and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Causeway is full of myths and legends—it is said to have been created by the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill and as lots of the rock formations have nicknames to represent the outlines they resemble, like the Wishing Chair or The Granny, you might feel an air of magic around the place. Exhibitions at the visitor centre tell the area’s history and geology and about the birdlife. You can borrow a portable audio guide from the visitor centre and there are four different walking trails. Although camping is not permitted at Giant’s Causeway, you may find private camping and caravan park options nearby.

When to go

The site is open year-round. It is busiest from 11am to 3pm during spring and summer, so arrive early or late to avoid the crowds. The busiest days are weekends and bank holidays, especially in July and August. The site is in an exposed coastal location so weather can change at any time. The last admission to the visitor centre is an hour before closing time – times vary from 5pm (January) to 9pm (July and August).

Know before you go

You can visit the rocks for free without buying a ticket for the visitor centre, but you need a visitor centre ticket for the car park—pre-book online.
The rocks can be exposed to high winds and waves and can be slippy, so wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
If you don’t wish to walk the 1 kilometre, there is a shuttle bus between the stones and the visitor centre.
Keep to paths. Some walking trails, such as the red and yellow trails, are only suitable for experienced walkers.
