Harry Potter lake - Hogworts was digitally added to one of the Hills Right next to Glenfinnan viaduct - park at the visitor centre - pay 3 pounds. Walk 5 to 10 min from the parking lot or you can take a photo from the parking lot. One side of the parking lot is the viaduct (Harry Potter bridge) and the other side is the Loch. Buggy and wheelchair friendly - path to take you from parking lot to near the side of the Loch

We stopped at the viaduct on our way to Skye and we were certainly not disappointed! Timed to perfection we managed to be there for the passing Jacobite Steam Train and found the perfect spot to capture some amazing video footage and photo’s. Our visit was topped off with a beautiful double rainbow over the viaduct!! If you are a Harry Potter fan this is not to be missed - if you appreciate the beautiful countryside and architecture; again this is not to be missed.

Cracking wee walk with the dog. Only takes about an hour to do. If the weather gods co operate the views are stunning.

Nestled on the hill overlooking Loch Shiel and the Glenfinnan monument this beautiful church is well worth a visit. Recently restored to a very high standard. Parking is available and a short walk gives access to the church and views beyond.

Monument to Scotish leader Bonnie Prince Charlie.
Reviewed By Jackiehail
Glenfinnan monument stands proud against the backdrop of Loch Shiel and the surrounding hills. Owned by the National Trust, access to the top of the monument is via the national trust visitor centre across the road. Access is via steep narrow steps and is not for everyone, however if you do gain access then the climb up allows you to savour the views. For those unable to access the top of the monument, a walk down the path to the base of the monument and the shores of Loch Shiel Is not to be missed. Parking is a problem and the trust car park is often full. My advice is to arrive early or later in the day avoiding the time of the steam train crossing the Glenfinnan viaduct.
