We are located in what could be described as the most beautiful part of Scotland. Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, is seen in all its majesty in the near-distance. Visit Glen Nevis for rope walking and waterfalls. The Caledonian Canal, extending from Loch Eil to Loch Ness and on to Inverness, runs virtually by the door (100m). Nearby is the 'Outdoor Capital of the UK' Fort William. Follow the 'Road to the Isles' to Skye and beyond. We are easily accessed by City-link bus from Skye, Inverness, Oban and Glasgow, and by train from Mallaig, Road to the Iles or Fort William and the South.

We are easily accessible from the Isle of Skye (41 miles), Oban (47 miles) Inverness (66 miles) and Glasgow... when you're here the city can seem like a million miles away

There is a spacious free car park at Banavie and a children's play area. A short walk from the car park leads to the Canal lock gates, where one can spend time watching vessels navigate the lock gates. It's a nice walk or cycle from Banavie into Fort William via Caol village, or visa versa.

There's an award winning village pub, the Lochy, located just 300 metres from the hostel and and a hundred yards from the magnificent Neptune's Staircase on the Caledonian Canal.

When visiting the Fort William area stop off to look around Old Inverlochy Castle. Although now a ruin this was one of the most important castles in Scottish history and has been the backdrop for two major historical events, the first and second battles of Inverlochy.

Leave all stress behind...
OR go for the MAX!
