Things to do in Fort William

Undoubtedly Fort William is famed mostly as being the starting off point to climb Britain's highest mountain (1,345 m) Ben Nevis. But there are so other things to do in Fort William as well.

Going up the Ben can be a great day out especially when the weather is fine and the views of the surrounding mountains, sea lochs and glens are clearly in view.

This apart there are some other nice trips to be found in the area. Taking in Neptune's Staircase which is the start of the Caledonian Canal which leads to Loch Ness and Inverness town.

Or perhaps you might like to take a ride up on the mountain gondola to the neighbouring mountain of Aonach Mor. Whether you want to just enjoy the trip and take in the views or partake in some skiing or snow boarding, you’re sure to enjoy it.

A little further south there is the Corran Ferry that takes you across Loch Linnhe to Ardgour. This will allow you to explore a whole new area which you may well have passed many times on your route up north.

Take a trip on the stunning train trip and visit Mallaig which is still a working fishing port with its own little museum which explains the local story very well.

Perhaps even book yourselves and the kids on the Jacobite steam train they will love it as it travels over the Glenfinnan viaduct of Harry Potter fame.

The West Highland Museum could be a great place to visit if you want to learn a little more about the Jacobite's and Bonnie Prince Charlie.

There are other interesting topics to uncover in the museum even discovering how the local life functions around this area will entertain you. If you are in the Fort william area for a few days then this is one that you could tick off if the weather was not so good.
