Knoydart
The last wilderness area in Great Britain, the Knoydart peninsula is only accessible by boat from Mallaig or by a 20 mile hike on foot. A wonderful area for walking and camping, this is truly a miles-from-anywhere, get-away-from-it-all place.
The Knoydart Foundation is a partnership of the local community, the Highland Council, the John Muir Trust, Kilchoan Estate and the Chris Brasher Trust. It was set up to purchase the remains of the old Knoydart Estate which it achieved in 1999. In doing so, it became the guardian for over 17,000 acres of some of the wildest land in Britain. Alongside this it has responsibility for managing several properties, a bunkhouse, deer management and the supply and generation of electricity to the local community.
Since taking ownership in 1999 the Foundation has undertaken a range of projects ranging from the development of a small display area through to the refurbishment of our hydro-electric scheme, but there is much more we want to do. You can help us to achieve some of our targets by becoming a Friend of Knoydart.
