Loch Riddon
Loch Riddon is a peaceful sea loch tucked north of the Kyles of Bute, where you anchor off in genuinely still, sheltered waters surrounded by wooded hillsides and little else. It's a quiet spot well away from any bustle, with the Cowal Way hiking trail nearby if you fancy stretching your legs toward Tighnabruaich or up through Glendaruel. The road along the shore toward Colintraive offers stunning views of the strait, and a ferry crossing to the Isle of Bute is just a short distance south.
