Please note that for logistical reasons it is not possible to accommodate wheelchairs or coach parties. Visitors should also be aware that access requires the ability to get in and out of a boat and negotiate numerous steps both in and around the Castle.
Should you arrive early for your tour, or be ready for a warm drink and bite to eat after braving the crossing, we recommend you visit the Castle Stalker View café with its panoramic views of Castle Stalker and Loch Linnhe, its friendly staff, and excellent food! Please note however that to reach the Castle boathouse you must continue along the road – it cannot be reached direct from the cafe!
DIRECTIONS:
The Castle is situated on the A828 between Ballachulish and Connel, and accessed by way of the old railway track. Using the Castle Stalker View Café as your starting point, travel southwards (right turn on leaving the café) down the steep hill. At the foot of the hill, follow the road round the sharp lefthand bend and approximately 150 metres further on turn right by a small red postbox mounted on a pole. Follow this small lane to the end where it meets the new cycle track and turn right again along the old railway track parallel to the cycle track. Continue along the railway track between the platforms of the old station and approximately 75 metres on you will see the boathouse on your left. Park on the track, making sure that access for other vehicles is not blocked or impeded, and proceed on foot through the gate to the boathouse and shore.
