Information on Glen Nevis
|
|
|
|
In Glen Nevis, there are delightful
walks to satisfy the low-level hiker and photographer. One such
walk is a hike through the gorge in the Glen , where the River
Nevis cascades and tumbles down from the surrounding mountains, on
its way to the sea
|
This walk is very easy but
good footwear is recommended. Serious walkers
can park their cars in Braveheart car park or
at the Ionad Nibheis Centre near the entrance
to theGlen
, whilst whose
preferring a much shorter walk can begin at
the Lower Falls car park. If you only have a
couple of hours, then you can park at the
head of theGlen
, near the
entrance to the gorge. On your way into this
most beautiful of Highland Glens you are
bound to see some of the local Highland
cattle grazing.
|
Before the
gorge, the Lower Falls are the first real show of power the river
can offer and during wet periods these waterfalls are extremely
impressive as they thunder below your feet under the
bridge.
Once
in the Gorge you will be delighted with wild
flowers, gently cascading streams and some superb
views both ahead of you and behind. After a short
but pleasant walk over rocky ground the gorge opens
up to reveal a hanging valley with Steall Falls
pouring into the scene from high
above.
A further 15 minute walk
brings you to the wire-rope bridge where you
can see Steall Falls at close hand, and test
your balance and nerve by crossing the river
on the steel rope bridge. Don't forget your
camera and film, waterproofs and midge
repellant!
