Getting to Knoydart
By road Take the A830 “Road to the Isles” from Fort William, a distance of 42 miles. Allow at least an hour. Once you reach Mallaig there is plenty of parking available (though some with restrictions).
By rail If travelling from London
the overnight sleeper to Fort William is one option. All trains to Fort
William and Mallaig run from Glasgow. The scenic
West Highland Line was recently voted top rail journey in the world for three
years running!
For nostalgic fun you may want to take the "Jacobite" steam locomotive (of Harry Potter fame) from
Fort William.
... and then from Mallaig to Knoydart
There is no road in, so getting to Knoydart involves either a lengthy
walk (20 miles from Kinlochhourn being one popular option for the
fit and well-prepared) or a short ferry ride using one of the local boats out of Mallaig.
For a faster crossing to suit your own schedule, contact one of our
local boat companies based in Inverie.
