Ardintigh Highland Outdoor Centre is situated in Scotland's dramatic and unspoilt West Highlands. The idyllic wilderness location is right on the south shores of Loch Nevis at Ardintigh Bay, surrounded by rugged, spectacular scenery. See our Area Map. To the north is Knoydart, Europe's last great wilderness with one of the largest remaining red deer forests. Seals, porpoise, and a range of sea birds can be seen in the loch. The Outdoor Centre offers an excellent base from which to explore the area.
Travel and Planning
There are no roads to Ardintigh, all groups should arrive at the fishing port of Mallaig which is easily reached by road and rail via the A830 along the scenic 'Road to the Isles' or by railway on the spectacular West Highland Line which terminates at Mallaig. On arrival at Mallaig, the centre's own 30ft launch "Gypsy Rover" will be waiting in the harbour to transport your equipment and provisions, to the Centre at Ardintigh Bay. The party then makes their own way to Bracorina on the north shore of Loch Morar, from which the centre can be reached by a 4 mile trek across the hills. This takes about 2 hours and walkers should dress accordingly.
We are delighted to advise self catering groups in planning a programme or an expedition to suit their requirements using our considerable knowledge of the area, Ardintigh Bay is shown on the Landranger Mallaig and Glenfinnan Ordnance Survey Map sheet number 40 and to include the Knoydart area you will need the Landranger Loch Alsh, Glen Shiel & Loch Hourn Ordnance Survey Map sheet number 33.
