Cowal's longest sandy beach
Explore stunning woodland on routes where some of Ardentinny’s first foresters planted seedlings. The beach is washed by the waters of Loch Long. Viking fleets, Gaelic raiders, wartime Commando assault boats and nuclear submarines have all been through here. A 4.75-mile (7.6 km) path leads to Carrick Castle.
