북서부 고원 최고의 라이딩 경로

Bealach na Bà from Applecross is a legendary Highland climb, averaging 7% over 9 km with brutal ramps up to 20%. The single-track road winds through jaw-dropping mountain scenery, with hairpin bends, steep gradients, and exposure to wild weather. The tarmac is generally good, but the climb demands pacing—start steady and save energy for the relentless final switchbacks. Stay alert for oncoming vehicles and give yourself space on tight corners. Reach the summit, and you're rewarded with one of the most dramatic views—and descents—in all of the UK.

Great cafe and one of the limited options away from Tobermory. I was wild camping with no cooking gear so this place was a life saver for me! Soup, panini, sausage roll and crisps all hit the spot

Worth it for the excellent views

Small ferry from Craignure to Oban. The crossing for one person cost £3.90 in 2023 – bicycles were free.

Take this path to avoid as much as possible of the horrible main road

One of the most beautiful views of the castle

The Elphin tearoom is cyclist friendly and does a great selection of cakes, breakfasts and lunches. There is also a small farm shop if you need to pick up something to cook for dinner. The tearoom does close over winter so check the website for opening times before you visit.

The monument consists of a bronze statue of three commandos in typical World War II clothing and equipment, including caps, ammunition bags and weapons. They look south, towards Ben Nevis. The statue stands on a stone pedestal that reads: "United we conquer". On the front of the pedestal is a plaque with the text: "In memory of the officers and men of the commandos who died in the Second World War 1939–1945. This country was their training ground."
