The real advantage of staying at Lever Terrace is its location; You’re within walking distance of a pub/restaurant, a convenient shop and only a few minutes’ drive from the west coast, world renowned for its mesmerising white sandy beaches, particularly at Scarista and Luskentyre. The east coast is more sheltered, but is equally striking, trips to the Church of St Clements at Rodel and art galleries at Finsbay are both popular. Sea fishing is available nearby and there’s also fly fishing in the local lochs only a short walk away (enquire locally). Hill walking is also readily available with the most notable adventures being a visit to the ancient ruined temple along the coast and white sand beaches from Northton or the cross-Island pathway. For the more-hardy, a climb to the summit of Maodal where a small memorial commemorates the crash of an RAF Shackleton in 1990. The Isle of Harris Golf Club, a well renowned 9-hole links course is a must for a visiting golfer.
Another excellent feature of the cottage being located in Leverburgh is that it is within walking distance of the ferry terminal and harbour. You can hop over as a foot passenger or take your car across the Sound of Harris to Berneray, a fabulous island, which is connected by causeway to North Uist. You can actually explore beyond North Uist to the islands of Benbecula, South Uist and Eriskay all connected by road thanks to the causeway set-up. So, one ferry across from Leverburgh can set-up an excellent day-trip, or easy continuation of your Hebridean adventure.
You can also visit St. Kilda on a boat trip from Leverburgh. The now uninhabited small archipelago of islands far out to the west of the Outer Hebrides are notoriously difficult to reach. A unesco world heritage site, you can see what the weather is doing and if it looks good, go for the day trip and be one of the few that have made it to these special islands. The Isle of Lewis is to the north of Harris, and is actually connected, separated only by the high hills of north Harris. Lewis needs no introduction, if you’re in Leverburgh it is only a spectacular 40 minute drive away. The nearest airport on the islands is Stornoway and the nearest on the mainland is Inverness Airport. Scarista Beach 4km Shop 500 metres, pub and restaurant 900 metres.
