Overview
Come and explore one of Scotland’s most breath taking glens on foot! Our guided walk in Glen Nevis is a relaxed, off-the-beaten-track wander along the River Nevis, with plenty of stories and beautiful scenery!
We’ll take our time, enjoy the fresh air, and share the stories that make Glen Nevis such a special place. Whether you're here for the hills, the Highland cows, or just the peace and quiet — we’d love to walk with you.
Glen Nevis is steeped in history and natural beauty — framed by towering mountains, ancient woodland, and sparkling water. As we walk, you’ll hear tales of the glen’s past, spot some wildlife, and discover the film locations of Hollywood favourites like Braveheart, Highlander, and Harry Potter.
Best of all, the proceeds from your booking go directly towards our ongoing nature restoration work in Glen Nevis.
🐮 Meet Our Highland Cattle herd
We’ll visit our Fold of Highland Cattle and we will tell you all you would like to know about them.
📍 Meeting Point
The walk begins in the field on your left-hand side, around 150–200 metres beyond the cattle grid on the Glen Nevis Road in Fort William. You can use this Google dropped pin to find your way.
