There are shops, restaurants and other
facilities at Tarbert (10 miles). You will also find the Harris
distillery,
which is producing a delicious gin that is proving very popular. They
have a good cafe and run tours.
Right next door is the Harris Tweed
Company,
which is well worth a visit.
Out of
Tarbert, the Golden Road will take you round the east of Harris, where
the land
falls steeply to the sea, there are gorgeous views to take in and art
galleries
to visit.
Seilebost is to the west of Tarbert and
beyond Seilebost you will come to Horgabost (1.4 miles), where you'll
find The
Machair Kitchen restaurant.
The Harris
Golf Club (5 miles) is a links course and welcomes visitors - a round is
paid
for via an honesty box.
Scarista House
is just beyond that and is a well-known local hotel with a restaurant,
at which
non-residents can book a table.
At
Leverburgh (10.5 miles) there is The Anchorage restaurant overlooking
the
water. Further afield are the famous
Callanish stones, where you'll also find a visitor centre and cafe.
