Best Way to Cycle the Route

This page can help you plan your ride to make the most of the time you have available. We advise you to take it slow, there is no rush!

You can also download the Cycling the Hebridean Way leaflet by clicking on the image above and you can now purchase a Hebridean Way Cycling Map.

Be sure to check out our Hebridean Way Pit Stops - a bunch of businesses who will support your trip through the islands.

We recomend this 6 day itinerary as a minimum. It is good to take rest days in between and head off and do something different - take a boat trip, a guided tour or visit a museum.

Taking rest days and exploring will make an awesome trip epic!

Head over to Plan your Trip section for detailed planning.
