Your Travel Experience with Spirit Journeys Worldwide
20 miles / 1394ft | 32km / 425m After breakfast, collect your bikes and cycle from Inverness at the mouth of the River Ness and head southwest, and travel along the signposted cycle route number 78. The route passes along quiet farm roads, and the profile of The Great Glen soon looms on the horizon. Loch Ness appears for the first time as you reach the loch-side village of Dores. Stop off at The Dores Inn for refreshments or an early lunch and take time off the bike to explore the beach on foot. The beach at Dores is home to full-time Nessie Hunter Steve Feltham who has kept a watchful eye on the water since 1991. He’s bound to have clocked up some incredible sightings, right?
Back on the bike, stick to Route 78, and follow the road by the shore. At Inverfarigaig you can again explore on foot through tall conifer trees on waymarked trails. The gorge of Inverfarigaig was cut by meltwater at the end of the last ice age. The Falls of Foyers are easy to find and all the more impressive if it has just rained. Cameron’s Tearoom serves fantastic afternoon teas in a welcoming environment amidst the resident highland cows and deer.After breakfast, collect your bikes and cycle from Inverness at the mouth of the River Ness and head southwest, and travel along the signposted cycle route number 78.
