At a Remote Scottish Pub, a Pint Worth Hiking 20 Miles
22.09.2024 - 11:25 / nytimes.com
The simple pleasure of a hot pub meal and a cold pint can be found just down the street for most people in Britain. Then, there is The Old Forge: perhaps the most remote pub on the mainland, lying at the end of a multiday wilderness hike through craggy mountains and glistening lochs.
Isolation is part of the charm that draws adventurers to the untamed landscapes and quieter lifestyle of Knoydart, a rugged peninsula on the west coast of Scotland. To get to its main settlement, Inverie — home to half of the peninsula’s 120 or so residents — travelers must churn over the waters of Loch Nevis from Mallaig or walk some 20 miles from the nearest road.
In Knoydart, there are no roads connected to other towns, no major supermarket, and in some places, even no cellphone signal. But there is, of course, a pub.
“You definitely need a pub at the end of that big trip,” said Stephanie Harris, business development manager at The Old Forge. “We try our best to make sure that folks have a good welcome when they get here.”

I lived and traveled abroad for 7 months using credit-card points. My stash of miles meant I barely had to pay anything out of pocket.
The idea to move from New Jersey to Buenos Aires came to me one afternoon while watching the Diego Maradona (famed Argentine soccer player) biopic series on Amazon Prime. I had only ever visited once before for a three-month backpacking trip, and I always knew I wanted to go back.
