SaveFort William's 'Outdoor Capital of the UK' status begins at Cow Hill, a mere 15 minute stroll from the town centre. Depending on where you are on the circuit around the top of the hill, you'll have wide open views of Loch Eil, Loch Linnhe, Glen Nevis and its surrounding mountains. The northern end of the route also acts as a picturesque, road-free walk from Fort William directly into Glen Nevis.
As the name suggests, crofters used to graze their beasts on the slopes of Cow Hill. You might see some Highland cattle here now; the way they crop the grass is just right for some wildflowers and butterflies, so we’ve introduced a herd to help with our conservation work.
