Nestled at the head of the Knapdale peninsula in Argyll on the west coast of Scotland, the Tayvallich peninsula is the outermost finger of land between the mainland and the Inner Hebrides of Jura and Islay. Set in some of the most geologically and ecologically important landscapes in Scotland, it runs southwest for about 15 miles from Crinan in the North to Danna Island in the south, where Loch Sween meets the Atlantic Ocean in the Sound of Jura. 

The area abounds with important historical and cultural sites, from nearby Kilmartin Glen (the most important concentration of Bronze Age and Neolithic monuments in mainland Scotland) and the 11th century Keills Chapel on Tayvallich peninsula itself to the clearance village of Arichonan. 

The distinctive ridges, valleys and forests of Knapdale are a biodiversity hotspot and more recently famous as one of the main locations for the reintroduction of beavers.
