Beautiful Glen Nevis lies at the foot of Britains highest mountain and the scenery is truly breathtaking. Accessible by road or foot, the Glen is seven miles long and the road narrows to single track at the Lower Falls.
A further two mile stretch ends at the car park where the keen walker can leave their vehicle and take the 20 minute trek through the Gorge.
The end of the walk is worth waiting for.
Don't forget your camera!!!

A 35 minute drive west from Fort William will take you to the famous village of Glenfinnan. It was here, in 1745, that Prince Charles Edward Stewart marched south with the gathered clans. The Glenfinnan Monument was erected to commemorate all those who fought and died for The Cause.

From mid June until the end of September, "The Jacobite" steam train runs from Fort William to the fishing port of Mallaig following the famous Road to the Isles. Winding its way through Corpach, Glenfinnan and Arisaig the views of the West Highland countryside are second to none. The rail journey crosses the Glenfinnan Viaduct, a curved structure of concrete, 100 feet high and 416 yards in lenght. It consists of 21 arched spans of 50 feet each and was built by Robert MacAlpine. This was the first concrete viaduct to be built in Britain. Folklore has it that during construction a horse and cart fell into one of the viaducts piers and remains entombed there to this day.
