PORT APPIN LOOPROUTE LEVEL CLASSIFICATIONS

A picturesque route around the Appin Peninsula and Loch Creran

(18 MILES, 29 KM)

FRIENDLY STOPS

ROUTE DESCRIPTIONSetting off from the Appin Peninsula, this peaceful route takes in lochs, castles and stunning scenery, showcasing some of the west coast’s most famous sights.

The loop provides immediate views of the iconic Castle Stalker and surrounding woodlands, before joining the mostly flat shoreline of Loch Creran in the shadow of the neighbouring mountains.

To lengthen the route, take the ferry from Port Appin for a scenic ride around the Island of Lismore. Catch an additional ferry connection to Oban to extend your ride further.
