Freedom Break at Glen Coe

View larger map

Freedom Breaks offer a flexible way to enjoy some of Britain's most scenic areas.

The mountains of the Western Highlands act as a magnet to all outdoor enthusiasts. Alltshellach House, located on the shores of Loch Leven, is a splendid base from which to explore this area of awe-inspiring scenery.

Highlights of your stay could include:

• Outdoor adventure activities - sea kayaking, canyoning, climbing and skiing
• Spectacular wildlife, from white-tailed eagles to basking sharks.  Red deer are common on the hills, and seals and harbour porpoises can often be seen
• Mountain walking - Alltshellach sits amongst Britain’s highest mountains and is a great base from which to ‘bag’ a few munros
• Riding the Jacobite steam train through stunning scenery from Fort William to Mallaig
• The Ice Factor at Kinochleven, an adventure centre containing the biggest indoor ice-climbing wall in the world
• Great gardens, many most colourful early in the season as the climate favours spring flowering rhododendrons
• Eilean Donan Castle - the classic romantic Scottish lochside castle. Located on a small island just offshore, the castle is isolated by the sea at high tide, only accessible via a stone bridge
