Journey from Mallaig to the Remote Village of Inverie and Britain’s Most Remote Pub


Inverie is a small and isolated village located six miles up Loch Nevis, known for its extreme remoteness and home to just over 120 residents. It is famous for The Old Forge, Britain’s most remote pub, set in one of Europe’s last true wilderness areas. With no road access, the ferry service provides the essential connection to mainland services. Visitors staying in Inverie or exploring for the day can enjoy a scenic one-hour cruise to Tarbet at the top of Loch Nevis.


The trip departs at 15:00 Monday to Friday from April to October, returns to Inverie at 16:15, and continues to Mallaig by 17:00. The journey offers stunning views of the loch, surrounding hills, and wilderness, providing a unique perspective of this secluded area. Passengers should arrive at the pier at least 15 minutes before departure to allow for smooth boarding. Those arriving by car or train should plan extra time for unloading, parking, and any potential delays to ensure they do not miss the boat.


Boats are equipped with toilets and drinks, and children under five travel free, as do dogs of all sizes. Sailings are weather dependent, and tickets cover standard luggage, with small additional charges for unusually large freight. Discounts are available for Knoydart residents and regular travelers, making the service accessible for the local community. This ferry route is not just a transport link but a vital part of the experience for anyone visiting this beautiful and untouched part of the Scottish Highlands.


The journey provides a peaceful and memorable experience for all passengers, combining remote landscapes with the convenience of modern boat facilities. Whether you are heading to The Old Forge for a drink or simply exploring the wilderness, the cruise offers a unique way to see the region. By providing a reliable link to the mainland, the ferry service ensures that visitors can enjoy the beauty of Inverie while maintaining a connection to the wider world beyond the loch.
