グラスハン湖のおすすめランニングルート

Amazing views in a fascinating landscape. Felt a bit unreal.

Lovely ride and a nice little light lunch at Crinan

Bar and restaurant with outdoor terrace

The Oystercatcher is a great cosy pub. Good food with incredible views. It’s part of Ballimore Estate. There’s Ballimore Bothy which you can book easily online. There’s a great beach you can walk along which then becomes part of the spit. Be very mindful of this area and the tides, as high tide can come in pretty fast. Never be complacent as it will take you by surprise. There are a few mooring buoys for boats to moor. This happens more within the summer months. Also great area for cyclists as there are multiple routes to do here (road/gravel/mtb).

Otter Ferry consists of a pier with a jetty to the side of it. There’s a great beach. You are able to walk along the Spit but please do be aware of the tide times as high tide can come in pretty fast. There is a pub called the Oystercatcher which serves great food and drinks. During the winter months, it only opens at the weekend (at certain times), otherwise from Wednesday through to Sunday. Please check ahead when planning as this can change. If you want to walk in this area, there is Ballimore Estate. The drive is between the Ballimore Bothy and the beach and it’s a very beautiful walk. Bear in mind, you’ll need to leave your car in the car park by the pub. Also all dogs must be kept on a lead as there is much wildlife in this area. The Ballimore Bothy can easily be booked, if wanting to stay in this area. It is part of Argyll’s secret coast, after all! https://www.instagram.com/ballimorebothy?igsh=MWlqYWN5cm8zemRieg==

Large campsite with a small area for tents. There are 4 washing machines and 4 huge dryers where all the washed laundry dries quickly. Shops in town (Tesco and Co-op)

Effortless, flat cycle ride from Lochgilphead to Crinan. If you want some inclines you could branch off about half way along the tow path and cycle over the hill to the beautiful wee village of Tayvallich. Nice hotel by the bay. Good food. Picnic benches.

Take a seat on the banks of the Crinan Canal and admire the beautiful surroundings of a lock, cottage and lake.
