Drumfearn is a traditional crofting township, offering the peace and tranquillity of a rural location but being only 6 miles from the amenities of Broadford and only 10 miles from the Skye Bridge.
The Sleat peninsula, located in the south of the lsland, is known as the Garden of Skye due to its abundance of trees that are largely absent in other areas on the island. The area is popular due to its spectacular scenery, the variety of walks in the area, its wildlife and its proximity to the Skye Bridge and the mainland.
Access to the area has been improved with the end of the toll on the Skye Bridge and the completion of the double track road from Skulamus to Ardvasar. There is also a regular all year ferry service from Mallaig to Armadale. Rail links to Inverness and Glasgow are available from Kyle of Lochalsh and Mallaig. There is a primary school in the area as well as a craft shops, village store at Armadale, petrol station and post office. A wider range of facilities are available in Broadford and Kyle of Lochalsh. A school bus service is available to take older children to the Secondary school in Portree.
