Almost as legendary as the aforementioned Flying Scotsman, the Jacobite is a steam train that’s more commonly known as the Harry Potter Steam Train for its role as the Hogwarts Express in the movies of the Harry Potter franchise. While you can ride on the Jacobite, it won’t take you to a school of witchcraft and wizardry; instead you’ll travel between the Scottish towns of Fort William and Mallaig, a round-tip journey of 84 miles. The most thrilling moment of this iconic train ride is the crossing of the Glenfinnan viaduct (also made famous by the Harry Potter movies). Once in Mallaig, you’ll get to wander for over an hour and a half before you have to board the train again and make your way back to Fort William. The Jacobite only runs seasonally, between April and October, and gets unsurprisingly busy so book your ticket in advance.
