Location

Known as one of the last wilderness areas in Britain, the Knoydart Peninsula is situated on the shores of Loch Nevis (Loch of Heaven), stretching round to the Sound of Sleat and is serviced daily by the fast water taxi ferries, who run several sailings all year round, across the sheltered sea loch (25 mins crossing). The  village of Inverie, just over 4 miles distant, holds the majority of local amenities, including the Nursery School, Primary School, Library, Post Office, Community Shops, Knoydart Pottery & Tearoom, restaurants, and the most remote pub in Britain, The Old Forge. As well as providing an ideal retreat to get-away-from-it-all, Knoydart offers an array of     activities such as Munro bagging with three Munros on its doorstep, bike trails, sea angling, kayaking, diving and boat trips, with the prospect of spotting dolphins and seals, Minke whales, orcas, otters and eagles to name but a few, and boasts its own Ranger Service, who leads walks, for all levels. A large part of Knoydart is owned and managed by the local community. Fast Satellite Broadband is available via Hebnet, a Community Interest Company which provides broadband to Knoydart, the Gaelic College, University of the Highland and Islands and The Small Isles. Excellent secondary schooling is in Mallaig, with the provision of en-suite accommodation for secondary students, commuting Monday to Friday for their secondary education, from Inverie.
