Fort William

Fort William

Known as the outdoor capital of Scotland, Fort William sits on the shores of Loch Linnhe and is surrounded by spectacular Highlands scenery. It's a fun, lively town, and with easy access to Ben Nevis and other Munros (Scottish mountains), it makes a great base for hiking or climbing.

Where you could stay2 nights

Mansefield Guest House

Tucked away in the sleepy village of Corpach, a short walk from the train station. Food is locally sourced and award-winning and there’s a log fire for quiet, cosy nights with a good book.

Recommendations

  • Lochaber Geopark boasts some amazing geology, with the UK’s highest mountains, deepest lochs and stunning natural scenery.

  • Within easy reach of Fort William, Ben Nevis is the UK's highest peak. Take a full day to climb to the top of the mountain or walk half an hour up the hill to the Ben Nevis Visitor Centre for one of their shorter and more sedate suggested walks.

  • Catch the latest blockbuster or Scottish indie film at the family-run Highland Cinema, housed in a beautiful traditional building.
