Glen Coe

Highlight • Gorge

Majestic green mountains, dramatic panoramas, and soaring landscapes – Glen Coe is one of the most beautiful places in Scotland. The nature here is varied: you can find yourself in wooded strath in the morning and high mountain passes in the afternoon.

Glen Coe is named after the River Coe, which runs through the area. It was formed by a supervolcanic eruption that happened around 420 million years ago.

Corran Ferry

Highlight • Rest Area

Brings you back onto the main busy site of the loch but don't worry there's a dedicated cycle path nearly all the way into Oban

Fort William Jacobite Steam Train Station

Highlight • Historical Site

The Jacobite is said to be the greatest railway journey in the world. Starting near Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, passengers ride for 84 miles (135 kilometers) through some spectacular scenery; along the breathtaking Glenfinnan Viaduct, past the deepest freshwater loch in Britain, Loch Morar, the shortest river in Britain, River Morar, and finishes next to the deepest seawater loch in Europe, Loch Nevis. Fans of the Harry Potter films will recognise this steam train as the ‘Hogwarts Express’ that takes pupils to the wizard school. The steam train and parts of its train route were shown in all eight of the Harry Potter films.

River Lochy at Inverlochy

Highlight • River

A wee part of Fort William that backs onto the river (“Burn” in Scotland) between Loch Linnie & The Caledonian Canal. Interlocks also has a Bike shop if you need ”spares and repairs”. The path to the water is good gravel. Worth a wee detour.

End of the West Highland Way (Fort William)

Highlight • Monument

The end of the West Highland Way (or the start, if you've decided walking to Glasgow is preferable). Signage, and a substantial tourist industry have built up around the Way, so there are plenty of ways to revel in your achievements.

Impressive steel bridge crossing the narrows between Loch Leven and Loch Linnhe over to North Ballachulish.
