If we are ever asked where our favourite walking area in Scotland is we always say   Glen  Nevis >

Britains highest mountain is here 4409 ft or 1344 mt  Ben Nevis >  webcam   there is a tourist path right to the top
......
.....

One such walk is a hike through the gorge in the Glen, where the River Nevis cascades and

tumbles down from the surrounding mountains, on its way to the sea

from Fort William  leave town going north at the first roundabout follow the signs

for Glen Nevis, Serious walkers can park their cars in  Braveheart  >  car park
 
 

or at the  Ionad Nibheis >  Centre  near the entrance to the Glen

whilst those preferring a much shorter walk can begin at

the Lower Falls car park. halfway down
 
 

If you only have a couple of hours, then you can park

at the bottom of the Glen, at the entrance to the gorge

On your way into this most beautiful of Highland Glens

you are bound to see some local Highland cattle grazing

UK Weather  >

This walk is very easy but good footwear is recommended

From the car park at the end of Glen Nevis, the path is at the far end of the car park

At the gorge, the Lower Falls are the first real show of power the river can offer

and during wet periods these waterfalls are extremely impressive as they thunder

below your feet under the bridge
 
 

Once in the Gorge there is an easy to follow path you will be delighted with wild flowers

gently cascading streams and some superb views both ahead of you and behind

After a short but pleasant walk over rocky ground the gorge opens up to reveal

a hanging valley with Steall Falls pouring into the scene from high above
 
 

A further 15 minutes brings you to the wire rope bridge, you can now see Steall Falls close up

test your balance and nerve by crossing the river on the steel rope bridge if you dare

the walk continues her, but today for this walk return to the the car park by the same route

Don't forget your camera and film, waterproofs and midge repellant

Part of this easy walk is over Rocky Ground and may not be accessable to all

However there are many quiet roads and Tracks here that are suitable
