Description

Glen Beasdale is a gentle wide valley which overlooks the Sound of Arisaig. This route follows an excellent path through the valley. It is a great walk for kids and adults alike. There is opportunity for those who enjoy getting wet, to scramble through some of the short but narrow gorges near to some sections of the route - otherwise just enjoy a short walk with lots of interest.

Access Info

On the A830(T) from Fort William to Mallaig there is a small lay-by just beside a railway bridge, half a mile before reaching Beasdale Station when travelling towards Mallaig. Park here and a short walk on the road under the bridge brings you to the track on the north side of the road, which is the start of our walk.

Additional Info

This walk can be linked to the Glen Mama to Loch Mama walk to return - though the walk back to the car will be on single-track road for part of the way. However, it will take you by The Prince's Cairn on the shore of Loch Nan Uamh - said to mark the spot where Bonnie Prince Charlie left for Skye.
