Creach Bheinn
A 491m hill on the Isle of Mull with at least 150m of prominence — enough to feel like a real summit rather than a shoulder. The modest height belies the quality of the walking.

Standard route
Standard route
A steady ascent on island paths with sea views in multiple directions to the 491m summit. The walking is straightforward with clear views opening up as you gain height. Allow 2-4 hours.
Terrain
Mixed island landscape with coastal rock, peat and grass. The sea is visible from most points on the walk.
In winter
Maritime climate means mild winters with little snow but persistent wind and rain. A good option when mainland hills are in full winter conditions.
