West Highland Railway West Highland Railway No Data

Description


Regularly voted one of the best railway journeys in the world. The journey is stunning from as soon as the line climbs away from the Clyde and heads up into the hills at Helensburgh. The line winds it's way between Lochs and mountains, often across stunning viaducts, crossing the lonely and desolate Rannoch Moor, stopping at Corrour the most isolated and highest railway station in the UK (10 miles from the nearest road), before descending back down to the base of Ben Nevis at Fort William before climbing again through the mountains, across the stunning Glenfinnan viaduct and finally coming down to sea level at the small ferry port of Mallaig.
