Loch Eck

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you are cycling on the west side of the loch it is passable on road tyres (I.e. 28c) but it is majority gravel so if you are wanting abit more fun/speed I would suggest some 37c tyres at least.

14.2 km

Benmore Botanic Garden

Highlight • Trail

A beautiful garden with great views and paths. Really worth a visit, especially when the Rhododendrons are in bloom. Only 15min by bike from Dunoon!

15.4 km

Winding Gravel Path Around Loch Eck

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Bit of bikepushing walking up the steep parts, but it's worth it!

Tip by

21.9 km

Glen Finart Gravel Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A healthy mixture of light and loose gravel that climbs up and away from Loch Eck. If your bike (or your will power) isn't keen on gravel then a well paved road runs parallel.

Tip by

29.5 km

View of Loch Eck and Loch Tarsan

Highlight • Viewpoint

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Eck and Tarzan lochs from this picturesque vantage point.

Settle into a comfortable spot, unpack your lunch, and allow yourself to be captivated by the scenery before you.
