BBC Radio 4 - Ramblings, Off the Beaten Track on the Island of Iona

Walking guide, David Allaway, takes Clare away from the tourist hub on this famous island

Starting at the ferry terminal, in some wild and woolly weather, Clare is led by expert guide, David Allaway, around some spectacular beaches and hidden coves

Clare is walking on the beautiful island of Iona in today’s Ramblings.   One of the Inner Hebrides, Iona is just three miles long by around a mile wide yet punches well above its weight both in terms of scenery and history.  Her companion is David Allaway:  a keen photographer, founding member of the island’s craft co-operative and a volunteer fire-fighter he also runs guided walking tours.  Beginning and ending at the ferry terminal, they circumnavigate the coast at the north end of the island.

See the 'related links' box at the bottom of the Ramblings webpage for more info about David Allaway.

Presenter: Clare Balding
Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Karen Gregor
