unrated)About Glen Dubh Circular
This cycle trail begins at the same place as the shorter Barcaldine East route, but diverges onto a short off-road section before climbing to re-join the short route for a while.
After a sharp left-hand turn, look out for a right turn - by some old Scots pines - which takes you higher into the forest and round the head of Glen Dubh.
The views at this stage are excellent as you circle the reservoir and return down the other side of the glen.
How to get there:
Glen Dubh Circular can be started from Sutherland's Grove car park in Sutherland's Grove which is part of Barcaldine. Barcaldine is the nearest town or village.
From the south, west and east, take the A85 to Connel then follow signs for Fort William on the A828. Follow the road for approximately nine miles to Barcaldine. The entrance to the car park is 300m east of the campsite at Barcaldine and village primary school.
From the north - head for Oban on the A828 and cross the Creagan bridge.
The entrance is well recognisable on the left-hand side before the village of Barcaldine.
Sutherland's Grove is the start for cycle routes on the forest roads around Glen Dubh, as well as forest walks.
