So yer in the Hielinds now aye? Wanting a wee walk are ye? Perhaps
you’ve just climbed ‘The Ben’ and want a shorter jaunt…
Try your fate at Steall Falls near Fort William. Listed as
the third highest waterfalls in the country, you won’t be disappointed. This
stroll is approximately two miles long and has moderate climbs and dips
thoroughout the Glen Nevis valley. Unfortunately it is not accessible for wheel
or push chairs.
Watch out for the “Wow” moment. You’ll know it when you see
it. When you come around the corner the view smacks you right in the face with
it’s awesomeness.
Unless you’re hiking further past the falls, you’ll need to
turn back and go the way you came. Don’t leave without trying out the wire
bridge to get to the other side of the falls. *Recommended only for the brave
or uber adventurous. *
Top Tip: Go as early in the morning as you can. Follow the
Nevis road ALL THE WAY TO THE END. Yes, I said the end. Ye be warned it’s a
dead end, but the car park- I promise- is at the end of the road. The road,
like most British roads, is very
narrow and you must give way to oncoming cars. So take your time getting back
there. There is only one car park at the trail head and it fills up very quick.
For specific directions on how to get there follow this
site: (it’s also a good way to know you’re still on track). walk the highlands
If you decide to embark on this adventure, you will not be disappointed! Now go, take a hike!
