This is a fairly easy circular route which you can bike or run, it’s 11.5 miles from Stac Polly and Locholly Lodge. You can join it from Windyhill Cottage and not go into Achiltibuie which would reduce it by about 2 miles. It has lovely views all the way around.

Achiltibuie Lochinver Circular Route - Moderate - 70 Miles

This is a challenging cycle route, with stunning coastal scenery, that is on either single track or A roads. There are lots of ups and downs, and sheep, so it is not for the faint hearted.

The route goes from Achiltibuie via the coastal single track road to Lochinver, Drumbeg and Newton. It then heads south on the main road (A894) via Inchnadamph to Ledmore. At this point turn off onto the A835 to Drumrunie. It then returns to Achiltibuie on the single track road.
