A stroll through the gorge in Glen Nevis will take you to a scene where gushing streams of water cascade joyfully over uneven rocks, flowing naturally like the smooth stroke of a painter’s brush over a canvas. This majestic sight is known as Steall Waterfall, the second highest waterfall in Scotland, boasting a drop of 120m.

The trail begins from the carpark at the end of Glen Nevis Road. Follow the well-established path into the woodland, and start the gradual ascend along the gorge. Do note that the trail will get rockier, steeper and narrower, and the uphill climb can persist for up to an hour, so while admiring the dramatic scenic grandeur surrounding you, be sure to watch your step. After crossing a bridge, you will eventually emerge into the Steall Meadows, catching your first views of the tumbling waterfall. The hiking route can end here, or you can bravely attempt the infamous three-wire bridge dangling over the river bed to reach the base of the falls.
