A stunning cycle from Port Ellen to Ardtalla ✨
There is so much to do and see on this route, but here are a few highlights!
✨ Laphroaig Distillery - What a perfect first stop on the cycle. A favourite of King Charles, and holder of the Royal Warrant!
✨ Lagavulin Distillery - Brimming with history and heritage, it’s a great chance to grab a coffee and enjoy their Malt Mill Bar!
✨ Dunyvaig Castle - the stronghold of the Lords of the Isles. The castle has amazing views out to Kintyre & Northern Ireland, as well as back towards Lagavulin!
✨ Ardbeg Distillery - A fun-filled distillery and producer of some of the peatiest whiskies in Islay. With a delicious cafe, it is the perfect place to stop for lunch!
✨ Seal Bay - As the name suggests, the ideal place to spot some harbour seals. Plus lots of other wildlife too!
✨ Beautiful Woodlands - Different to most of Islay, you will be surrounded by Atlantic woodland, filled with birdsong!
✨ Fairy Hill - If you fancy a wee hike with panoramic views of Islay, this is a great place to stretch the legs!
✨ Kildalton Cross & Chapel - Dating back to the 8th century, the Kildalton cross is one of the best examples of a Celtic cross left in Scotland!
✨ Claggain Bay - A pebble beach that is also a good location to spot the elusive otter. Keep an eye out to sea!
✨ Ardtalla Beach - A gorgeous beach, with crystal clear water. The perfect place to stop a relax before the journey back!
