Please remember that this is a working forest. You may encounter vehicles and/or forest operations. It is important to adhere to warning signs and directions by forest staff.

From the village of Inverlochy (Bike Hire) turn right at the traffic lights. At the mini roundabout turn sharp left into Glen Nevis. Turn onto the forest track at the sign for the Braveheart Car Park. Go through the gates and at the next junction take the left hand fork. Carry on this track for a further 2 miles 3.25 kms. At the junction take the left hand fork. The forest track now swoops downhill to join the tarred Glen Nevis road at Achriabhach.

The more experienced rider might wish to take the right hand fork. Follow a sweeping S bend for about 1 km. A steep single track route follows the stream side to emerge at Achriabhach.

Turn right at the cottages if you wish to visit the nearby Lower Falls. Turn left to return to Fort William.
