Looking down on Glen Nevis from Cow Hill
There are many different attractions in and around Fort William for locals
and Tourists alike.
 Beautiful
Glen Nevis lies at the foot of Britains highest mountain and the scenery
is truly breathtaking. Accessible by road or foot, the Glen is seven miles
long and the road narrows to single track at the Lower Falls.
A further two mile stretch ends at the car park where the keen walker
can leave their vehicle and take the 20 minute trek through the Gorge.
The end of the walk is worth waiting for.
Don't forget your camera!!!
 A
35 minute drive west from Fort William will take you to the famous village
of Glenfinnan. It was here, in 1745, that Prince Charles Edward Stewart
marched south with the gathered clans. The Glenfinnan Monument was erected
to commemorate all those who fought and died for The Cause.
 From
mid June until the end of September, "The Jacobite" steam train runs
from Fort William to the fishing port of Mallaig following the famous
Road to the Isles. Winding its way through Corpach, Glenfinnan and Arisaig
the views of the West Highland countryside are second to none. The rail
journey crosses the Glenfinnan Viaduct, a curved structure of concrete,
100 feet high and 416 yards in lenght. It consists of 21 arched spans
of 50 feet each and was built by Robert MacAlpine. This was the first
concrete viaduct to be built in Britain. Folklore has it that during
construction a horse and cart fell into one of the viaducts piers and
remains entombed there to this day.
Listed below are a number of places to visit along with the time taken
to get there by road.
