Overview
Sit back, relax and enjoy the beauty of ‘Britain’s most beautiful shortcut’, the perfect way to experience the sights, wildlife and history of the famous Crinan Canal.
Experience the thrill of rising from Crinan Basin, through Lock 14, then onwards along the scenic canal to Crinan Bridge, we will pass through the swing bridge here and head on to the picturesque Bellanoch Marina. We will pause to take in the vast expanse of the Moine Mhor National Nature Reserve ‘The Great Moss’ before travelling onwards through Bellanoch swing bridge and on to Lock 13 at Dunardry. We will turn at Lock 13 and return to Crinan Basin, once again having an opportunity to experience the thrill of being transported through Lock 14 back into Crinan Basin.
Why not make a day of it and treat yourself to coffee and homemade cakes at the Crinan Coffee Shop or lunch at the Crinan Hotel. Or why not stop off at the delicious Polly’s Coffee Stop at Lock 10 on your way to or from Crinan.
Once in Crinan, there are also many beautiful woodland and canal walks available on our doorstep, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
