An awful lot of fish farm stuff in this bay but there is space to anchor and some visitor moorings. What to see and do is basically the same as at Corran Point because it is only a short walk away. En route pop into Ardgour Parish Church. This was built in the early 19th century to a design which was partly Telford but mostly it seems by one of his surveyors, William Thomson. It is plain and calm, with a nice wooden ceiling. Once again I found myself wondering who on earth polishes the brass handles at the end of each pew in these remote and tiny churches.
For an al fresco or takeaway beer and food experience try the Ardgour Ales Brewery opened in 2020 on the site of the old manse (ph 01855 632321). It is open every day except Mondays and you can buy beer to take away, or sit in the beer tent with fire pits to keep you warm and the midges away, with hens clucking away after your food. And it is real ale, and real bread for sale too. Bar snacks and burgers are available every day, while Friday is pizza night, important to remember that pizza has to be ordered in advance. The men's toilets have an interesting arrangement whereby you can wash your hands immediately after adjusting your dress.
There are some lovely walks through woods along paths to the southwest, and around small lochans which look to me like flooded quarries. There are irritatingly some 'private keep out' signs which can mostly be ignored in Scotland where we have 'freedom to roam', one trying to block a path across a completely empty field with no habitation visible anywhere.
