Tarbert to Crinan

Description

This incredible ride takes you along the Caledonia Way (National Cycle route 78) through Argyll and Bute giving fabulous views of the Isles of Jura and Islay.
The ride starts at Tarbert Quay and heads along West Loch Tarbert and then past Loch Stornoway to Kilberry. You continue along the coast with wonderful views of the Paps of Jura - also look out for seals as these are common in the area. The route then heads inland through woodland towards Ardrishaig and Lochgilphead where there are views of Loch Fyne and Loch Gilp. The final traffic free section takes you along the Crinan Canal from Lochgilphead to Crinan.
