Overview

A stunning 9km / 5.5 mile forest walk following the winding Water of Nevis to the dramatic Steall Falls. The route meanders through the rocky Nevis Gorge and opens to the panoramic landscape of Glen Nevis.

Steall Falls is third highest waterfall in Scotland and cascades 105 meters down the rock face. In Gaelic it's called An Steall Bàn meaning "The White Spout".

This iconic area is featured in two Harry Potter films.

At the end of the walk, there's a wire rope bridge over the river for the adventurous!

This is a private hike with Trev, your friendly local guide. The path is a little rocky and muddy in places, so he's on hand to help if needed. Plus, he's always happy to take photos.

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

Please note that if it's not rained for a while, the waterfall won't be flowing fast.

From the car park we'll visit the nearby Polldubh Falls.

We'll then walk through the forest, along the banks of the Water of Nevis.

There are lots of small waterfalls and pools along the way.

We'll cross Paddy’s Bridge to the road for a short walk to the start of Nevis Gorge.

The terrain get's a little steeper and rocky, but your guide is on hand to help.

At the end of the gorge, we exit into the stunning Glen Nevis.

A short walk takes us to the imposing Steall Falls waterfall.

For anyone feeling adventurous, there's a wire rope bridge over the river.

Optionally, we can walk to the base of the waterfall. This ground is boggy and rocky.

We'll walk back on the same route, but the views change in the opposite direction.

This walk takes 3-4 hours depending on whether you cross the rope bridge.

I'll contact you before the hike with the weather conditions and to answer any questions. I'll also send a mandatory online Medical & consent form.
