The village is located in a small valley at the head of Loch na Cille, which is a small bay at the head of Loch Melfort. The centre of the village consists of a cluster of 25 or so houses, a hotel, Post Office and General Store, and the Kirk (Church of Scotland), which is prominently situated on a small knoll. “

The Magic of Melfort” lies in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and is ideally situated for those who wish to explore the hills on foot, or the surrounding coast and islands by boat.

There are many miles of excellent walks, some of which allow wild life spotting; from the brown eagle to the grey heron, gold finches, robins and deer, with stunning views over the surrounding countryside and coast. Kilmelford has wild brown trout fishing on the many hill lochs around the area. Also excellent is the sea fishing, offering a wide variety of species.
