Connel Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Impressive cantilever bridge spanning Loch Etive and linking the small villages of Connel and North Connel. It is a single carriageway crossing controlled by traffic lights.

View of the Countryside

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is ideally done on Gravel/Mountain bike. Whilst I did complete on a road bike it is far from ideal.
