About the Celtic Challenge

Over five days, you will cycle over 200 miles from Edinburgh to the Isle of Iona, passing through some of the most stunning and unspoilt landscapes in the UK.  All accommodation, meals, snacks, ferry journeys, support vehicles and guides are included.

The journey

Starting from St Columba's Hospice in Edinburgh, you will cycle to Glasgow, Loch Lomond, Loch Awe, Tarbet and the Isle of Mull, from where you will make the final leg of the journey by ferry to the Isle of Iona - one of the most significant areas of Scotland's history.
