This Pretty Walk is one of the best walks in the UK and as the weather warms you'll definitely need to add it to your summer list. The Glenfinnan Viaduct Trail offers an unforgettable experience for those who spend time exploring.
Located in the Highlands of Scotland, you will have the opportunity to see incredible scenery while taking the route. You can also see the iconic viaducts and the famous railway bridges from Harry Potter films. If the weather is good and you have the right footwear, this 1-2 hour walk will take you through some of the UK's most stunning scenery.
While on the 2.5-mile trail, there are incredible views of Lake Shell, making it a great place for nature lovers.
Along the way, you will also pass the Glenfinan Monument, which was built in 1815.
This combination of natural beauty and rich history makes the Glenfinnnan viaduct a must-see for anyone looking to explore Scotland's finest landscapes.
Fort William is located just 17 miles south of Glenfinnnan and offers accommodation, restaurants and other outdoor activities. If you're looking to visit the area for a short break, it's the ideal place to stay.
The easiest way to reach Glenfinnnan is to take a train from Glasgow or Edinburgh to Fort William, followed by a short bus or car on the viaduct.
One TripAdvisor walked the route said, “We had great views of the viaduct and the monument, and we were able to cross the steam locomotive.
Another was written: “A lovely place to see the wonderful viaduct. There is a path of perspective and it rises quickly. It is directly glory and undoubtedly brings nostalgia.
“We went to Uproot, where walking along the road near the visitor centre/café was a great walk. Our perspective seemed a little far away and was only beneficial if we had a professional camera.”
If you're looking for a weekend in the UK, Glenfinnnan could be a great place to enjoy a scenic yet adventurous break.
