About Ardnoe cycle route

From the Loch Coille-Bharr car park this trail follows forest roads into the forest of West Knapdale to reach viewpoints looking down on the picturesque Crinan harbour.

The trail then takes you to some of the finest views on the western seaboard which encompass Islay, Jura with its famous Paps, the Gulf of Corryvreckan, Scarba, Lunga, Mull, Luing, the Craignish peninsula and many smaller islands and skerries in the Sound of Jura.
