Discovering the legendary train in Harry Potter
There's a real-life Hogwarts Express that takes you through famous movie locations and beautiful Scotland. This vintage steam train officially known as the Jacobite, operated by West Coast Rail, gives you smooth rides through locations featured in scenes from the Harry Potter movies. The 84-mile (more than 135 km) round trip will also take you to some of Scotland's most idyllic and most spectacular views that you've only seen on screen. The journey takes four hours and fans can spot sites like Glenfinnan Viaduct, also known as the "Harry Potter Bridge", Loch Sheil, the site of the Triwizard Tournament, and Rannoch Moor. Not only for Harry Potter fans but there is also much more to see and experience at the end of your journey.
For almost 2 hours, the Jacobite train passed through amazing scenery. Jacobite includes refurbished old British Railways of the 50s and a live commentary describing some of the features along the route. This route will run through many rivers and lakes, vast valleys, vast flower fields, and even majestic mountains, etc. You will be overwhelmed by the natural scenery here, and a little jealous of what this place is favored. If you book a return journey you get an hour and a half to explore the fishing village of Mallaig, the last stop on the train ride.
