Hebridean Islands

The great thing about cycling the islands is that they have spectacular mountain scenery but the roads tend to hug the shoreline where it's flat, so you can enjoy the view without wearing yourself out.

There's the added attraction of glorious beaches to stop off at - where you'll often be the only visitor - not to mention the excellent views across the water to other islands. Try to make time to get to the Outer Hebrides where the quiet lanes are a cyclist's heaven.
