During your stay
• AVIEMORE & HIGHLAND WILDLIFE - We head for Aviemore with time to explore, enjoy the scenery and perhaps have a bite to eat. Later, we head to the Highland Wildlife Park, home to the famous Scottish Wildcats and other interesting animals, including its own safari drive.• KYLE OF LOCHALSH - We travel north to Inverness to join the Scotrail train for one of the Great Railway Journeys of the World - the line to Kyle of Lochalsh. The route takes on the best scenery in the country, skirting lochs and passing remote villages. After a break in Kyle of Lochalsh we enjoy the return ride by road, back to the hotel. • FORT WILLIAM, GLENFINNAN AND MALLAIG - We journey along the shore of Loch Laggan and through Glen Spean to Fort William to ride on the celebrated West Highland Line to Mallaig. This spectacular line passes hidden lochs and inlets, silver sands, and crosses the magnificent Glenfinnan viaduct on its way west. Mallaig is a major fishing port and harbour for exploring before we catch the train for the return journey to Fort William, where we rejoin our coach back to Newtonmore. • LOCH NESS CRUISE - We travel through unspoilt scenery past Loch Mhor and along Stratherrick to Fort Augustus and Loch Ness. Whilst here we have time to obtain lunch and enjoy a cruise, with commentary, on Loch Ness on board ‘The Royal Scot’ from the Caledonian Canal. Later we leave Fort Augustus and head north overlooking the loch towards Inverness before heading back to Newtonmore.
Friday
We leave Newtonmore and the Highlands to retrace our steps south towards Northern England for our overnight stop with dinner, bed and breakfast.
