Great Glen Way Gravel Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This beautiful gravel road is part of the Great Glen Way and gives you a good, rideable and lovely curvy gravel road through the forest. You'll contour around the peak of Carn na Leitire.

Spot with a great view over Loch Ness. Especially since you don't have a lot of clear views on the Loch from the Great Glen Way along this part, as it's mostly forest here.

Then suddenly there is this beautiful open spot on the slope of the mountain with these great views. Definitely go and take your break here.

Great Glen Way Forest Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Beautiful off-road forest track, part of the Great Glen Way, with some incredible views over Loch Ness along the way.

The route is good and rideable, but does have multiple short but steep climbs and descents, as well as stream crossings. But hey, nothing beats a short hike-a-bike here and there right?

Caledonian Canal Path

Highlight • Trail

The smoothness of the riding here allows you to take in the beauty of the Caledonian Canal beside you. The celebrated Great Glen Way Route travels a little to the West, resulting in this stretch of the Canal being somewhat more appealing to bike.
