Ten minutes by ferry from Largs on the North Ayrshire coast, Millport is still popular today. The name Cumbrae is thought to be derived from the Gaelic ‘cumbray’ meaning shelter and refuge. An apt description, as it is like taking a step back to a gentler pace of life.

It has always been an island for cyclists, although more cars are now brought across on the ferry. For visitors without car or bicycle, a bus waits at the slipway to convey passengers the fifteen minutes into Millport.

Cycling on Millport

Cumbrae still attracts cyclists and the bicycles come in all sizes including an adult sized bicycle with a buggy attached to the back for little ones. Hire shops in Millport offer cycle hire for one hour, one day, one week or longer.
