The Glenfinnan Viaduct is the curve of arches the Hogwarts Express crosses on screen. A signposted path from the visitor centre climbs to a viewpoint above it. The Jacobite steam train usually crosses in summer around midday, so check the timetable.

Good to know

  • Keep off the viaduct itself, it is a live railway
  • Visitor centre car park is paid and fills early
  • Glenfinnan Monument is a short walk away
Best time
