Cycling Adventures in Argyll & the Isles

Argyll & the Isles is a cyclist's dream. With our natural terrain ideally suited to the full range of pedal-powered adventures, we’re proud to have developed a strong cycling infrastructure. We have excellent public transport, fabulous places to eat and drink and local cycling groups who are passionate about developing more routes to explore.

For road cyclists, we have miles and miles of scenic roads, long straight stretches and plenty of challenging hills and bends that are perfect for clocking up the distance. For mountain bikers, we have acres of forest trails with steep ascents and daredevil drop-offs. And for gravel bikers, we have an intricate network of tracks and trails through our extensive forests, woodlands and along our coastlines. We offer tried and tested bikepacking trails and packrafting suggestions for those who want to extend their adventures to the water.

Think cycling The Caledonia Way, Five Ferries Island Hopping challenge, Wild About Argyll Bike Packing Trail and a variety of sportives. It’s all so accessible here on Scotland’s Adventure Coast.
