ギャリー湖のおすすめツーリングルート

Wild and remote area - beautiful!

Kinloch Hourn is the end of the road, beyond here to the west beckon the wilds of Knoydart. You'll find a car park and B&B accommodation here. The undulating path along the southern shore of Loch Hourn leads to one of Scotland's greatest Munros: Ladhar Bheinn. This path also features on the Cape Wrath Trail.

The southern section of the Great Glen Way is a simple ride on gravel and a small amount of pavement, plus a section of single trail.

Has to be one of the most spectacular trails I've ever cycled. The smooth gravel and breathtaking views.

NEPTUNE would never have dreamed that he would become the - albeit unofficial - namesake of a building in the Scottish Highlands. After all, he actually comes from somewhere else entirely, namely the Mediterranean. His name stands for the pre-Christian myths of antiquity, of which the numerous Greek and Roman deities in particular have been preserved in the collective memory of humanity - at least in Europe. However, the fact that a water structure with the eight locks found here bears his name "Neptune's Staircase" is entirely justified: In Roman mythology, NEPTUNE is the god of the sea, and in Greek mythology his counterpart is POSEIDON.

Nice flat canal towpath

Nice to watch the boats come through the lock gates

The walk along the banks of Loch Hourn is stunning... but look closely at the map: you'll have three stiff ascents and descents along the way
