Ardgour & the Corran Narrows of Loch Linnhe
From the Doorstep
A common question from guests is what's within walking distance of the chalets?
​
​We're located in a marvellous rural location, with forest, waterfalls, hills, beaches and lochs all on our doorstep. We also have the benefit of several eateries along with a couple of activity providers just a short walk away.
​
Here is what's within within easy walking distance.
Inchree Waterfalls
Located just a 20 minute walk from us are the Inchree Waterfalls.
​
These magificent 'falls drop several hundred feet in a series of steps, fed by the River Abhainn Righ from Glen Righ.
​
An easy path winds up the edge of the gorge, giving close-up views of the waterfalls and panoramic views overlooking Loch Linnhe & the Ardgour mountains.

Corran Ferry
& The Narrows
The Corran Ferry is an inland ferry service that plys it's way daily across the Corran Narrows, (the narrowest part of Loch Linnhe) and is just a 5 minute walk from the chalets.
​
The ferry provides access to the beautiful & remote areas of Ardgour, Moidart & the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. These are are the westerly outlying areas of Lochaber, culminating in the most westerly point of mainland UK, Ardnamurchan Point.
​
The ferry is free to walkers & cyclists, and operates daily, back and forward from Nether Lochaber (our aside) to Ardgour, from 6.30am to 9.30pm.
The crossing takes only a few minutes and you're never waiting more than around 25 minutes for the ferry to return. Timetable here.
​
The Corran Narrows is a spectacular setting, with huge, open views looking up Loch Linnhe to Fort William and southward back to Inchree and beyond, towards the vast expanse of Loch Linnhe & the Beinn a'Bheither mountain massif.
​
The Ardgour side of the Narrows has a lovely beach for enjoying the views, with the lighthouse providing an interesting backdrop. It is particularly stunning on a nice evening, as the sun sets down the loch.
​
Ardgour Ales are located on the Ardgour side of the Corran Narrows.
​
As well as a Craft Ale Brewery with heated beer tent, they also offer fabulous artisan pizzas every Friday night.
​
After getting off the Coran Ferry on the Ardgour side, you simply turn right and walk along the waterfront for a few hundred metres, (taking in the wonderful panoramic views) and you’ll see their sign, just after the church.
You just need to pre-book your pizzas via their website.
​
You can also take a few bottles or a firkin of their splendid Real Ales too. Fresh-baked bread & breakfast rolls also available.
Enjoy the novelty of collecting your pizza via a ferry ride!
