About this road
The B869 north from Lochinver along the Assynt coast past Achmelvich, Clachtoll, Stoer and Drumbeg to the A894 near Kylesku. Twisting, steep single track with sea views most of the way.
Ride notes
- Steep single track with blind crests
- Tight bends and sudden gradients
- Slow going, allow plenty of time for passing places
Green lanes
Holloway doesn't map green lanes in Scotland. Scotland's access law is different from England and Wales: the right to roam doesn't cover motor vehicles, and there's no byway system like England's. So this road is here for the tarmac only.
