The cycle: Lismore

Location: Argyll

Map: OS Landranger 49

Distance: 18 miles (29km)

Time: 4 hours

Terrain: undulating; singletrack road, tracks

Scotland's great garden, as Lismore translates from Gaelic, makes for a unusual cycling experience. As you might imagine, the traffic is light on this 10-mile long island in the Firth of Lorn. Its soil too is light and fertile, supporting rich grazing land and many wild flowers.
