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
