Explore Fort William: The Outdoor Capital of the UK
Just a 1.5-hour drive from Craik-Na-Dav B&B, Fort William is a vibrant hub for adventure and culture nestled at the foot of Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain. Known as the “Outdoor Capital of the UK,” Fort William is a magnet for hikers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you’re tackling the challenging ascent of Ben Nevis, enjoying the scenic trails of Glen Nevis, or taking a ride on the famous Jacobite Steam Train—featured as the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films—there’s something for everyone.
For a more relaxed visit, explore the town’s cosy cafés, charming shops, and the West Highland Museum, which offers insights into the area’s rich history. Nearby, the dramatic Neptune’s Staircase, an eight-lock system on the Caledonian Canal, is a marvel of engineering. With its stunning landscapes and wealth of activities, Fort William is the perfect destination for an unforgettable Highland experience.
