another area of isle of arran which is very much worth exploring is machrie moor. located at the west side of the island is easily overlooked, the nearby king's cave gets all the attention.
there is a small car park off A841, not too far north from cairnfield farm (hidden behind a hedge).
the place is quite quiet, but there is a good path (mostly occupied by resting sheep) and several stances of ancient monoliths are located along it.
if you're lucky to have your bike with you and are keen on exploring the area please see below the cycle route around machrie moors. these are minor roads and good for cycling, not much traffic. we loved cycling there :)
the path via moorland, passing the standing stones would be suitable for mountain bikes

kolejny zakatek wyspy arran, ktory polecamy goraco odwiedzic to wrzosowisko machrie moor. znajduje sie w zachodniej czesci wyspy i jest moze mniej odwiedzane niz pobliska jaskinia king's cave, ale warto sie tam wybrac.
przy drodze A841 (niedaleko na polnoc od cairnfield farm) znajduje sie maly parking (za zywoplotem) , z niego biegnie sciezka wiodaca przez wrzosowisko i 'zawijajaca' do kilku stancji prehistorycznych monolitow, kregow kamiennych.
jesli zwiedzasz wyspe arran na rowerze - pomysl o ponizszej trasie, ktora 'objezdza' wrzosowisko dookola, jest bardzo malownicza. trasa biegnie malymi drogami, nie ma tu duzego ruchu, nam jezdzilo sie wspaniale :)
our cycling route around machrie moor, starting from bridge end campsite
nasza trasa dookola wrzosowiska, zaczynajaca sie w tym wypadku z kampingu bridge end
let's explore! / zobaczmy co my tu mamy...
track from the car park is very popular with sheep :)
owce bardzo lubia ta siezke :)
machrie moor :)
there are several standing stone rings, some rather smallish, some quite impressive
znajduje sie tu kilka kamiennych kregow, niektore dosc male, inne robia niezle wrazenie..
the first large monolith we saw was a single stone
pierwszy wielki blok kamienny, pojedynczy
but we could already see more stones, nearby
ale w oddali widac juz kolejne kregi
this one was quite impressive
ten calkiem fajny
oh, dont you just love them?!
i jak tu ich nie lubic?!
one happy girl :) / zadowolona :) lubie takie rzeczy :)
another, smaller ring / nastepny, mniejszy krag
and another one / i kolejny
.. and another! / i kolejny!
(with goatfell, in the distance)
a w oddali -goatfell
oh, and another one :)
no i jeszcze jeden!
the path also passes some 'random' monoliths, if you look closely you'll see some more single standing stones in this area
w okolicy znajduje sie jeszcze kilka pojedynczych glazow, jak dobrze popatrzec to kilka z nich widac ze sciezki
