Overview

A 13km / 8 mile low-level walk along the Great Glen Way and Caledonian Canal past Inverlochy Castle, Corpach shipwreck & Neptune's Staircase.

This nature hike follows the coast through forests and lavender fields with dramatic mountain backdrops for the entire walk.

You'll see various faces of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, along with it's neighbouring mountains. The view up Glen Nevis is impressive on a clear day.

If it's running, you'll stand meters from the Jacobite (Harry Potter) steam train as it heads to Glenfinnan viaduct.

You'll walk with Trev, your friendly local guide who'll talk you through the area and surrounding mountains. He's always happy to take photos.

This is a family friendly walk for 13+ year olds that are comfortable with the distance.

There are numerous cafes along the way for refreshments plus a local ice cream shop. We could even visit the Ben Nevis distillery.

Establishments aren't guaranteed to be open so carrying refreshments is recommend.
