Crinan Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

Crinan is a beautiful seaside hamlet nestled on the west coast of Scotland in the region of Knapdale. It's a great place to stop for a couple of hours with some lovely things to do, including visiting the Crinan Coffee Shop, taking a stroll on the beach, or discovering the local boatyard.

Crinan Lock Basin

Highlight • Structure

The cycle along the canal tow path to Lochgilphead is lovely.

B841 Road from Crinan to Ardrishaig

Highlight • Trail

The canal towpath is nice but slow, so if you want a speedier return to the car park, the B841 is fast (and slightly downhill most of the way).
