“If you’re a bit of a Harry Potter fan (just like me ) then you really don’t want to miss seeing the Harry Potter Train, a.k.a “Hogwarts Express”, thundering along on your next trip to Scotland. You’ll need to head into the stunning Scottish Highlands and seek out the tiny village of Glenfinnan, huddled on the shore of Loch Shiel. It’s around a 30-minute picturesque drive from the large town of Fort William, known as the gateway to the Scottish Highlands. Limited public transport, both train and bus, is available between Fort William and Glenfinnan a few times a day but the easiest way is by car. Set the Glenfinnan Visitor Center on your satnav (PH37 4LT) and enjoy the drive! Once you near the well-signposted Glenfinnan Visitor Center you’ll see the car park right beside it. It’s £3 to park here and can get a little busy around the scheduled steam train times.”

“Open spring to autumn, seasonal opening times may vary. Licenced café and restaurant offering breakfasts, tea, coffee, home bakes, light lunches and full evening meals from locally sourced produce amongst a beautiful setting within the Applecross Estate. The also have a micro deli and gift store at the back! The walled garden and nearby forest walks are well worth exploring. www.applecrossgarden.co.uk, Tel. +44(0)1520 744440 ”
