unrated)About Faery Isles Cycle Trail
A reasonably fit family can master some gentle hills on this pretty there-and-back-again route, although the return trip on unsurfaced forest roads will be uphill.
A map of the route is in the Mid-Argyll cycling leaflet (PDF 2.7Mb)
How to get there:
Faery Isles Cycle Trail can be started from Loch Coille Bharr in Knapdale Forest. Cairnbaan and Tayvallich are the nearest towns or villages.
From Lochgilphead, follow A816 north for two and a half miles, then turn left onto B841 for Cairnbaan and Crinan. At Bellanoch turn left onto the B8025 for Tayvallich. Oib Gate is just over one mile along this road.
From Oban, follow the A816 south to one mile beyond Kilmartin then turn right onto the B8025 tasking you to Bellanoch.
Turn right at the Canal bridge at Bellanoch, then next left onto road for Tayvallich for just over one mile.
