Staying near Mallaig or even Fort William and not sure what to do? You should check out our grand day out!

With an itinerary of catching the ferry over to Knoydart, (includes links to the western isles web site and ferry times) you can spend a few hours whizzing around beautiful Knoydart on our e-bikes.

Finishing off your day by visiting one of the many wonderful places to eat and drink, like Britain's remotest mainland pub, The Old Forge, the welcoming Tea rooms and pottery or the wonderful Lookout restaurant. Then hop on the return ferry back to Mallaig.

It makes the perfect day out on your holiday.
