Travelling By Car
The village of Morar is about 30 miles west of Fort William, the “Outdoor Capital” of the UK.
Just north of the town, turn west on the A830 “Road to the Isles”, signposted to Mallaig. The route will take you along the shores of Loch Eil, through the village of Glenfinnan and on to the coast beyond Lochailort.
About 3 miles after passing through the village of Arisaig, turn right and follow the minor road that takes you past the falls of Morar and over the railway crossing into the village. Sunset is the 3rd house on the left after the hotel.

The railway journey from Fort William to Morar and Mallaig has been consistently voted the most beautiful rail journey in the world (by the readers of “Wanderlust” magazine) and is one of BBC's 10 Great Railway Journeys of the World.
Four regular “sprinter” trains a day, along with 2 steam hauled excursions (April till October) make their way from Fort William station to Mallaig, sometimes following the road route and at times diverging into the hills on a path of its own through wild and varied scenery.
Morar is the last stop before the end of the line and Sunset is 100 yards down the hill from the station, the 3rd house on the left after the hotel.

A lesser travelled but infinitely rewarding way to reach Morar is under your own power, on foot. The route will take you through some of the remotest and wildest landscapes in Europe, via Loch Arkaig, Glendessary and along the shores of Loch Nevis to Tarbert and Morar. To arrive in Morar by this route will certainly give you an appetite!
