Would you make the journey to visit Britain’s most remote pub?
The Old Forge in Knoydart, Scotland, has a Guinness World Record for being the most isolated boozer on the mainland.
To get there, you have to hike 18 miles over rocky Munros or via a seven mile sea crossing.
You can do this via a £20 return trip on the local ferry, which also offers the opportunity to view Scotland’s West Coast that’s also known as “Europe’s Last Wilderness”.
Alternatively, you can there via plane or helicopter if you wish as there’s a landing pad in the beer garden.
Or for a more tranquil experience, a sea kayak or canoe can be a fun way to cross Loch Nevis.
If you’re feeling really adventurous, make the 18-mile journey through “shank’s pony” on foot.
You’ll pass through peaks of Glendessary, Glen Meadall or Kinlochhourn.
After making this trek, you’ll reach the small village of Inverie.
You can even shower off at the pub if you warn the Old Forge in advance.
And thankfully for guests who want to make the long journey worth their while, the pub offers accommodation too.
If you’re just staying for the afternoon, there’s plenty to enjoy too.
As the pub is right on the water, fresh seafood is a speciality.
Punters have the option of digging into delicacies like Loch Nevis langoustine, hand dived Arisaig scallops, Loch Nan Uamh rope mussels, Mallaig smoked salmon and Isle of Rum waters lobsters.
There’s also vegetarian options and tasty meat dishes like slow cooked venison and chilli casserole.
Then to wash it all down, there’s a fully stocked bar and real ales available.
