Closer to hand are the smaller Islands of Kerrera and Lismore. Kerrera is accessible by ferry from Oban and the crossing takes minutes. A beautiful little island with scenic walks and views of Oban that not many see.
Lismore is a long and relatively flat island making it an ideal cycle ride. The ferry for Lismore leaves from Port Appin, less than half an hour's drive from Shenavallie. More information on the ferry times of Caledonian MacBrayne is available on their web page.
