Lovely spot for a wee picnic. You can cycle along the far end of the loch, you will need to go through a gate into farmland, we came across cows but they didn't bother us, however if there were calves it may have been a different story. There is a wee bit of a steep climb, but a great downhill afterwards. Skinny tyres not recommended!
