One of the farthest towns in the UK, 100 miles from the nearest station, is a stunning place to visit, even if it is difficult to reach. The UK is home to many scenic seaside towns, many of which are popular with visitors during the summer. But there are others you may not have heard of before, and that may be because they are some of the farthest towns in the country.
One of those locations is Campbelltown, Scotland. Campbelltown is located on the Kintiele Peninsula on Campbelltown Lake, west of Scotland. It is a fishing port, a Scottish whiskey hub and perhaps one of the most amazing places on the UK island. Surrounded by beautiful Scottish landscapes, it is a great place to visit for those who love hiking and hiking around simple drives.
Campbelltown is located across the water from Isle of Aran, another stunning place to visit in Scotland. But take it back to Campbelltown itself.
It is a small town, but was once considered the whisky capital of the world. Today, there are three distilleries in operation here, but there were once 34 impressive distilleries that made whiskey here.
With guided tours of these distilleries, the town is a must-see for whiskey enthusiasts. Even if you're not a veteran whiskey drinker, these tours offer unique insight into the cultural significance of the drink and the culture in general.
Plus, Campbelltown is an incredible base for exploring this stunning area of Scotland. As mentioned before, it is located near the stunning Isle of Aran, considered one of the most naturally stunning islands in the whole of Britain.
Plus, you can easily reach locations such as Davar Island, Westport Beach, Seadach Garden, Donaverity Rock.
There is even more opportunity to explore the perimeter of this gorgeous corner of Scotland.
In fact, there is a ferry service between Campbelltown and Northern Ireland. This means that while you're in the area you can visit the Giants' Causeway to famous sites.
It's certainly remote, but going to Campbelltown isn't that difficult. West Coast Motors operates Glasgow and four coaches a day, which takes around 4.5 hours.
You can also get here via boats departing from Ballycastle in Northern Ireland, via Aldrosan, which is easily accessible from Glasgow.
Additionally, Loganair takes you two flights a day from Glasgow to Campbelltown in just 30 minutes and between Mondays and Fridays.
