Location
 Adgour
and The Inn at Ardgour is easy to find, located at
the top of the slipway to the Corran Ferry on the shore of Loch Linnhe.
If coming from the south, take the A82 trunk road out of
Glasgow, through Dumbarton, up past Loch Lomond and through Glen Coe.
Coming out of Glen Coe, the A82 leads up towards Fort William. 2 miles
(3km) after the village of Onich, a short road to the left branches off
to the Corran Ferry slipway.
A four minute ferry crossing across Loch Linnhe takes you
to Ardgour and the Inn.
The fare for cars is £4.70. Foot passengers travel free.
If the ferry is not available, a 40 mile (65km) drive through
Fort William and along the shores of Loch Linnhe becomes necessary. The
ferry operates every half hour from around 7:30am and 9:00pm (8:00pm winter)
Routes
to Ardgour
Ardgour is
easy to reach from Central Scotland by car or public transport. Road routes
from the south converge on the A82 at Crianlarich then follow that road
through Glencoe and over the Ballachullish Bridge to Onich. From there
watch for the signs for the Corran car ferry to Ardnamurchan and Mull.
Coaches also follow this route from Edinburgh and Glasgow dropping passengers
at the ferry. Ask for "Corran Road End" when buying your ticket. There
is also a fabulous rail link - The West Highland Line. Catch the train
in Glasgow, sit back and enjoy one of the world's most scenic railways
and alight at Fort William. Take a local bus or taxi back to Corran Road
End and walk onto the ferry. This is one of the last public passenger
ferries to offer FREE transport to foot passengers. Ask at The Inn at
Ardgour about onward transport to Ardnamurchan and Mull.

with supplements for trailers. If you plan to use the ferry more than
seven times in a year then a book of 30 tickets is a good buy. Use all

Take the
easy route from Mull
The shortest
route from The Isle of Mull to the mainland is via CalMac's Fishnish to
Lochaline ferry. It crosses the sound of Mull in just fifteen minutes
(so it costs much less than the Oban/Craigure route and Fishnish is closer
to Tobermory than Craigure.

Over the
sea from Skye
Since the
building of the Skye Bridge(toll) the romance of travelling "over the
sea to Skye" has disappeared from the main acces to the island. You can
still share the Bonnie Prince's experience when he fled the redcoats in
the company of Flora MacDonald by usinhg CalMac's Armadale Mallaig ferry.
There are then two routes available to Ardgour. Turn left at Lachailort
and follow the coast to enjoy fabulous views of the small isles or turn
left just after Glenfinnan and discover the best view of Ben Nevis on
your way round Loch Eil and Loch Linnhe to Ardgour.
