Arran - Arran Full Circle Cycle Route
37 miles of rugged Scottish scenery...
The Isle of Arran is situated a little way from Glasgow. The island is within reach by car and public transport. You'll need to book ahead if you're using public transport as there’s limited space on the trains and ferry across to the island.
If you're up for a challenge, you can cycle the whole way round the island in around 5 to 6 hours.
The ride is a great way to appreciate the wild and varied scenery of this part of Scotland. You'll encounter two pretty strenuous climbs, two thrilling descents and plenty of gentle cycling along beautiful coastal bays in between.
Although many of Arran's roads are hilly, the coast road from Machrie to the north of the island leading up to Lochranza is relatively flat and quiet, making it easy and enjoyable.
