Mountain Description for Ben More (Isle of Mull)
Ben More (Isle of Mull) is a munro in Scotand and is located in the area The Islands as defined by SMC
(and lies in region known as Isle of Mull )Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Mòr, meaning "great mountain" is the highest mountain and only Munro (mountains in Scotland that reach an elevation of 3000 feet or more) on the Isle of Mull, Scotland.
It is the highest peak in the Inner Hebrides outwith the Isle of Skye. The mountain is situated in the south of the island, above the shores of Loch na Keal.
The peak is easiest reached from Loch na Keal, the walk up from the B8035 road following farm tracks, the side of a stream; Abhainn Dhiseig, and ultimately up scree slopes to the top. From the summit on a clear day, the view encompasses the Sound of Mull, Staffa, the Ross of Mull and Iona in the distance. From sea loch to summit is approximately a 4 hour walk.
The more demanding but rewarding route follows a boggy path up the banks of Abhainn na h-Uamha to the bealach between A'Chioich and Beinn Fhada (not to be confused with its namesake in Kintail). From the bealach the route follows South West along a steep and rocky ridge first to the peak of A'Chioich then on and up to Ben More itself. There is respite at the top in a circular refuge of stones. This route starts and ends on the B8035 road and is approximately a 6 hour walk & scramble.
