Jesus told his followers to ‘look at the birds of the air’ and at Kilmalieu we are blessed with a remarkable range of birds. From tiny goldcrests, warblers and flycatchers to majestic golden and white-tailed eagles … there is a rich variety of mountain, moorland, woodland and shoreline birds to see, hear, enjoy and learn from.
Following the success of their previous retreats at Kilmalieu, we are delighted to welcome back Mark and Sheila Winter to lead one of their special birdwatching retreats. We will enjoy times of contemplative Christian worship, guided birdwatching walks and reflections on some of the birds featured in the Bible, such as doves, eagles, the raven and owl.
The guided birdwatching walks are suitable for complete beginners but will also provide plenty of interest for more experienced bird watchers.
Situated on the shores of Loch Linnhe, Kilmalieu enjoys a stunning Highland setting. This beautifully renovated eighteenth-century hunting lodge offers comfortable single, twin and family rooms, alongside homemade food that is consistently praised by guests.
During your stay, you will have access to the library, art room, lounge, chapel, games room, labyrinth and gym, as well as the extraordinary landscape that surrounds us.
