Coffin Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice long trail across the Applecross peninsula. Trailforks rates the route as black, but it's not that hard. Upper blue or red trail in reality. Great mix of up and down, 99% of the trail is ridable, with a nice downward finish if you're heading north to south (straight to the Applecross Inn!)

Applecross is a peninsula north-west of Kyle of Lochalsh in the council area of Highland, Scotland. The name Applecross is at least 1,300 years old and is not used locally to refer to the 19th century village with the Applecross Inn, lying on the Applecross Bay, facing the Inner Sound.

January 4, 2024,Coffin Road loop from Applecross

Avoid the bit the cuts across the penisula at the north end of the route as it's the most miserable hike-a-bike through a bog I've ever dealt with and the forest before you come back out onto the road is unrideable. I'd recommend sticking to the road and picking up the trail when starts heading back to applecross.
