About this road
The A838 from Laxford Bridge past Rhiconich and across open moor to Durness on the north coast.
Ride notes
- Mostly single track with passing places
- Remote, with long gaps between fuel
Green lanes
Holloway doesn't map green lanes in Scotland. Scotland's access law is different from England and Wales: the right to roam doesn't cover motor vehicles, and there's no byway system like England's. So this road is here for the tarmac only.
