Gorgeous little lighthouse between Lunderston Bay and Greenock, along National Cycle Route. It's a shared pavement section here, which can be a bit narrow in places and often has cars parked on it, stay awake!

Great coffee ☕️ 😋

Birkmyre Park for a well earned rest, snack and toilets

"Named for its rather distinctive shape, The Pencil was built in 1912 as a reminder of the Viking influence over Scotland. Overlooking the Firth of Clyde and standing at around 70 feet tall, the pencil remembers the Battle of Largs, where the Scottish defeated 160 ships belonging to the Norwegian King Haco. Take a leisurely walk along the prom in Largs towards the southern end at Bowen Craig and you can’t miss this monument standing 70 feet high in the shape of a pencil. The view from this spot of the Firth of Clyde and the Marina are lovely." Source: https://hiddenscotland.com/listings/largs-pencil-monument

Magnus the Viking was gifted to the people of Largs by North Ayrshire Council in 2013 to commemorate the 750th anniversary of the historic Battle of Largs. The Vikings were defeated in the Battle of Largs in 1263, their last raid on Scottish soil. Under the Treaty of Perth, Magnus King of Norway surrendered the Western Isles and the Isle of Man to the Scottish Crown in 1266. (information taken from the sign nearby the statue)

Make sure you have enough gears. it's really steep.

Beautiful views on a nice day and smooth flat cycle paths, watch out for dog walkers who ignore the lanes though!

Cloch Lighthouse overlooks the River Clyde estuary. Looking across the water you can see Dunoon from this location. The lighthouse is a big structure that can be seen from numerous surrounding locations
