It is mountainous and includes Ben More, the highest mountain on the island. It is largely uninhabited, with a few isolated settlements along the coast. It is cut in two by a narrow valley (Gleann Seilisdeir) which runs north–south between the two sea lochs and carries the B8035 road. The peninsula (or its western end) is a Special Area of Conservation.
