Standing at 966 meters (3,169 feet), it’s a must-visit for hikers and anyone looking for a real outdoor adventure on Mull. The mountain is known for its dramatic, rugged terrain and, on a clear day, the summit offers breathtaking views over the island and the surrounding sea, with sights that can stretch to the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, the Isle of Skye, and even mainland Scotland.

There are a few routes up Ben More, but the most popular one starts from Dhiseig, on the shores of Loch na Keal. This path offers a straightforward, if challenging, climb with steep and rocky sections, especially near the summit. For those looking for a bit more of a challenge, there’s also a longer, ridge-based route from A’ Chioch, which adds a thrilling scramble to the hike.

Ben More is a great spot for wildlife enthusiasts too. While hiking, you might see golden eagles, red deer, or even wild mountain goats. The peak and its surrounding area are rich with flora and fauna, and the slopes are particularly beautiful in summer when the heather blooms.

Although it can be a strenuous climb, reaching the top of Ben More is rewarding. The combination of mountain, sea, and sky makes it an unforgettable experience, capturing the wild beauty of Mull. If you’re up for the challenge, Ben More is a fantastic way to experience Scotland’s rugged, unspoiled landscapes.
