Kinlochleven is the penultimate stop of the West Highland Way which ushes in front of the house.

10 munros are directly accessible from the house, including the Ring of Steal in the Mamores, if you're up to reach summits. 

​

More leisure walks will give you access to undisturbed nature, glens, hidden lochs but also historic paths and arctefacts. Among them, the path to Grey's Mare Waterfall, the riverside walk or the old pier walk leading to one of the most scenic vistas of Scotland. For a moderate climb, try the abandoned Mamore Lodge, the gorgeous Ciaran Path and POW Camp, the climb to Loch Eilde Mor or the hike to the BlackWater reservoir. 

​

Spot some wildlife on the way and enjoy the ever-changing landscape, eerie forests inhabited with century old trees and lush fauna, white river, gorge and waterfalls.

​

A 10mn ride from the house gives you access to Glencoe Valley and Ballachulish for a multitude of other hikes, walks and munros.

Walk Highlands has comprehensive description of the walks and hikes in the area. 

With River Leven running at the front of the house and the loch nearby, there are plenty of opportunities for wild swimming and experiencing the grandeur of the area on water. 

Vertical Descents offers the only Via Ferrata in Scotland at the Grey Mare's waterfall, the third highest of Scotland but also plenty of other water activities including "funyakking" and river bugging on the white water of River Leven. 

Discover Loch Leven from another angle with a paddleboarding session with Rugged Paddleboard Glencoe or kayaking with Rockhopper. 

The Highlands are one of these places that are made to be discovered on the road. With its open landscapes, atmospheric moorland, glens and eerie forests, its winding single track roads leading to remote lochs at the foot of rugged mountains, just put a good playlist on and get lost.
