Vatersay to Daliburgh The start of the Hebridean Cycling Way is at the Hebridean Way structure in the village of Vatersay (across the road from Vatersay Hall). The route follows the main road over the causeway to Barra and round the scenic west coast of Barra to the Ardmhor ferry terminal. Here is where you get the ferry to Eriskay and the ferry journey is 40 minutes. From the ferry terminal the route passes through the picturesque island of Eriskay over the causeway to South Uist. Here the route mostly follows the main road, but at South Boisdale (Leth Meadhanach) the route goes west towards the machair and goes through the villages of North Boisdale, Kilpheder and then rejoins the main road at Daliburgh. 2026-04-16T23:06:05.2983211Z WP1 Starting point at the Hebridean Way Structure opposite Vatersay Hall Cafe Pit Stop. 13.6 miles to the ferry at Ardmhor and 36 miles to Daliburgh.
