  • Becoming very touristy because of the Harry Potter films, but it's not too bad. You can still find untouched nature further out from the main viewpoint. There's a lot of paths to explore while you wait for the train to come.
  • Nice to take pictures of the train from here, but the bridge itself, other than being from the movies, is a concrete bridge, which is a bit boring. Would recommend if passing through, or a big Harry Potter fan. Would recommend also going to the monument also, which is located across the road.
  • Lovely place. This is the viaduct featured in the Harry Potter movies. The nature surrounding this area is beautiful and you can follow a trail which will lead you to some spectacular viewing points of the viaduct. Entry is free as it is owned by the Scottish National Trust, you just have to pay for parking.
  • Was very cool to think they filmed parts of Harry Potter here, I came early in the morning around 9:30am, did catch a train but not the typical 'steam train' like in Harry Potter. I believe one goes by late morning and mid afternoon, as I was leaving there was a fair few people making the walk round so I imagine it gets really busy when it comes, get in early if your plan is to see it. Car park is free for Scottish National trust members but £3.50 otherwise, very small car park so again get there in good time, about a 10 - 15 minute walk from the car park to the view point of the bridge
  • Nice walk, it was absolutely roasting, had a chill out at the top of the viaduct, saw some deer, had a cone of chips. Can't tell you anything about anything from Harry Potter because I've never seen any of them. But as a fan of Scotland is a great place to see ... it IS becoming very touristy because of the film obviously
