Beautiful Bute

A 25 mile anti-clockwise route around the beautiful Isle of Bute. We will start from Rothesay and travel to Ettrick Bay for lunch - either in the tea room or in the picnic area outside overlooking the bay. From here we will travel uphill to the viewpoint at Ardscalpsie before our descent to Scalpsie Bay with the option of a refreshment in the hotel beer garden. We will then cycle onto Kilchatten Bay and then Mount Stuart House before our return to catch the ferry at Rothesay around 4.30pm. This is a challenging ride due to some hills and we will be travelling around 10 mph.

A cycle around beautiful Bute with distracting views - sand & sea, farms & livestock, hills & forest.

For the first 3 miles we will be cycling through busy Rothesay before moving onto quieter country backroads.

We will stop often for water/rest and to regroup. We will also stop to admire the views.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring plenty of water, snacks and money if you want to buy food or drinks. Also ensure you have a spare inner tube and a small toolkit in case of punctures.

We never leave anyone behind
