Fall in love with Fort William
Sightseeing
The most picturesque walk ever! Starting at the viaduct car park, this loop takes you up above the viaduct and railway line, with amazing views in all directions as you go. Finish up with lunch at the Glenfinnan station dining car or a coffee at the Glenfinnan coffee co horsebox (or both). Highly recommend this to pass a few hours. The walk isn’t too difficult/strenuous and you can’t help but take regular stops to take in all the views!

Glen Nevis
Glen NevisPossibly the shortest ferry crossing in the world!?! Free if you’re going over on foot. There’s a nice woodland walk & sandy beach within waking distance at Ardgour. The ferry goes back and forth every half hour during the day.

A couple of miles looping walk (uphill on the way means you enjoy all the downhill coming back). Gorgeous views of the waterfall and out over the loch. A hidden gem that even some locals don’t know about!
