Family Activities in and around Glencoe

Take a fast boat trip on Loch Linnhe with Sea Ventures, Fort William. Or for a more gentle cruise board the Souter's Lass and take a trip to Sea Island.

If you fancy riding try Lettershuna Riding Centre, on the road to Oban. Alternatively, try Torlundy Riding Centre, just north of Fort William.

Take a trip to Mallaig on the steam train from Fort William. The line has always been popular but has become even more so since it was featured in the Harry Potter movies. The viaduct and view of the Glenfinnan Monument must make this one of the most photographed railways in the world. Steam Trains run from May until October.

A day trip to Oban is a popular choice with the children, especailly when it takes in the Sea Life Centre and the Rare Breeds Park.

Take a bike ride round Loch Leven. The roads are fairly quiet, although it will include a short stretch of the busy A82 is you do the whole circuit. Try biking on the north shore from either North Ballachulish or Kinlochleven and enjoy a seafood lunch at the Loch Leven Seafood Centre. See our biking pages for more biking ideas throughout Lochaber.
