Callander - Strathyre
<Starting in Callander, head out of the town on National Route 7 onto a level cyclepath that follows the old Oban railway line alongside the River Leny. Just outside the town it passes the remains of a Roman fort at Bochastle – one of several in the area.
Pass the mesmerising Falls of Leny and continue, through an oakwood, to reach Loch Lubnaig, which has a strong Highland character. The cycle route uses a quiet access road for some of the way. Take a picnic – you’re sure to find an idyllic spot for lunch. After four flat miles you’ll encounter some hills and one very steep zig-zag section but the final stretch into Strathyre is a breeze.
