Highlight • Waterfall

Pretty waterfall just off the cycle path near Lochwinnoch. The perfect place to stop for a bite to eat.

Entirely* rideable on a gravel bike but the water will be deeper than the bottom bracket and you will get wet feet.
*except for short sections of painfully draggy gloop and once where we decided to bypass a flooded section of track and ended up almost knee deep in peaty water

RSPB Lochwinnoch Bird Observatory

Highlight • Rest Area

One of the few wetlands left in the west of Scotland, Lochwinnoch is the perfect place to watch whooper swans, wigeon and many others. There's a great visitors centre and loads of walking trails too.
