About Ardgartan Peninsula Circuit

This circuit is a grand tour of the wild, rugged and remote Ardgartan Peninsula - with excellent views of the Clyde and the surrounding mountains.

Although the route is mostly on forest roads, small sections are on public roads and parts are off road. The circuit is best tackled from one of the three starting points in a clockwise direction, and can be broken by admiring the views from the picnic area provided.

Food and toilet facilities are available at Lochgoilhead.
