Around Us
Mallaig
The bustling and thriving port of Mallaig is situated on the north west coast along the famous Road to the Isles, just a five minute drive from Glenwood.
​
The town is a fascinating place where visitors can soak up the atmosphere of a working fishing port but at the same time its remote location makes is a great place to relax. Try the pleasant Mallaig Circuit walk which has great views over Mallaig harbour and across Loch Nevis to Knoydart.
Camusdarach
Camusdarach Beach is an arc of white, glistening sand and clear water just south of the estuary of River Morar.
​
With a spectacular view to the jagged crest of Cuillin on the Isle of Skye, the rugged blue peaks of Rum and the steep sea cliff of Eigg, Camusdarach is breathtaking. With plenty of opportunities for swimming, rock pooling and walking, the beach is a great place to spend a day. Camusdarach is the beach featured in the film Local Hero and is a popular place on tours of film locations.
Glenfinnan
Scattered along the main road, Glenfinnan is situated at the head of Loch Shiel which stretches south west for 20 miles to Acharacle.
​
Glenfinnan attracts many thousands of visitors from around the world to experience the stunning scenery but also the special atmosphere. The famous Glenfinnan viaduct carries the railway to Glenfinnan Station across a 1,000 ft span, 100 ft above the ground. The Jacobite steam train runs from here to Fort William and Mallaig in summer months with regular trains available the rest of the year.
