Hebridean Way Cycle Route
Slighe Innse Gall
An island-hopping cycle route from Vatersay to the northern tip of Lewis. Its southern section links all the causeways and ferries of this island group.
The Hebridean Way is a national cycle route of about 300 km (a walking version also exists), starting at Vatersay and passing through Barra, Eriskay, North and South Uist, and Benbecula before crossing the sea to Harris and Lewis. The southern section within this island group is about 110 km, mostly single-track roads with signposts. Bikes can be rented in Castlebay, Lochboisdale, and elsewhere. Completing the southern section usually takes 2 to 3 days. Reserve bike spaces on ferries in advance, and bring waterproof gear, as wind and rain are common.
