Isle of Skye
Cycle from Broadford to Portree on this terrific, waterside cycle route on the Isle of Skye.
The 29 mile route starts at the lovely village of Broadford with great views of Broadford bay. You then follow the coastal road north west passing Loch na Cairidh and Loch Ainort while enjoying splendid views of Scalpay Island. You continue along the coast passing Loch Sligachan before a woodland section through Glen Varragill takes you to the finish at Portree, the largest town on the island.
The scenery on the island is breathtaking with heather moor, beautiful lochs and stunning mountains. Look out for wildlife that includes golden eagle, hawks and red deer.

Broadford Bay
Coastline at Maol na Gainmhich. Bracken and heather covered slopes run down to a final steep and rocky drop into the sea. The hills of Trotternish are in the distance, with the south end of Raasay on the right.

Portree Bay. A view from Martin Crescent to the north-west part of the bay. It is shallow here, where the River Chracaig reaches the sea and deposits its load of sediment.
