The Glen Lonan Road climb from Taynuilt is a gentle and scenic ascent, averaging 3–4% with the occasional ramp up to 7%. The narrow, winding road rolls through quiet farmland and open glens, offering you peaceful views and barely a car in sight. The surface is mostly good, though you’ll want to stay alert for gravel and livestock. This is a climb for spinning easy and soaking in the atmosphere rather than chasing KOMs. It’s a tranquil, soul-soothing ride through the heart of Argyll.
