Cycling the length of the Outer Hebrides has become a popular past time over recent years. Surprisingly few visitors, however, take the opportunity to ride this fabulous circuit of South Harris. This is a route of two halves – a fascinating tour along the rocky bays and inlets of the east coast, followed by a journey past some of Scotland’s most beautiful beaches. Keen cyclists will easily manage the whole circuit in a day.   If you’re more of an occasional cyclist, you might like to split it into two leisurely days.
