There are few places more beautiful for cycling than the Isle of Skye. In north west Scotland, this epic island has mountains galore with the Red and Black Cuillin as well as the Trotternish Peninsula's astounding geological sights, including the Quiraing and the Old Man of Storr rock pinnacle. The roads along these vast landslides are some of the most astonishing places you can cycle in Britain.
Delightfully craggy, the cycle routes on the Isle of Skye are almost always coastal save for a few passes. There are only a handful of main roads, although the traffic is light and the minor roads lead you through exquisite landscapes. Remote villages, empty beaches, scrap-your-jaw-off-the-floor geology and exhilarating descents combine to make you extend your rides every time. Take waterproofs and plenty of snacks, Skye is as wet as it is majestic.
