Information for bikers travelling to Fort William

Fort William and Lochaber is a great destination for travelling to on a motorcycle. The Visit Fort William website strives to provide helpful information about travelling to the area.

Biking in the Highlands is a great experience - lots of open road with hundreds of miles of unspoiled scenery. The Lochaber area is especially well suited to bike touring with a good distribution of petrol stations and services - For William has two 24hrs filling stations.
 
 Fort William is a great base for a biking trip where you can take off in the morning to do a number or interesting rides during the day to return to your accommodation whenever you like. Lots of B&Bs in Fort William are biker friendly.
 
 There's a great day ride from Fort William to Skye and back in from the west coast via ferry and Mallaig. A trip down to Oban and back through Glencoe is also a good one.

Bikers often stop in Fort William looking for a place to rest, have a pee and a coffee. There's a biker friendly cafe very near the BP filling station at the junction between the A82 and A830 Mallaig road.J J's Cafe offer a great service to bikers who are respectful, considerate and polite and are looking for a good meal and a hot drink !
