Tumbling down from the hanging valley of the Allt Coire a' Mhail, An Steall is a hugely impressive sight. It emerges wonderfully as you make your way through the Nevis Gorge and into a beautiful meadow. It is around the Munros that encircle the Allt Coire a' Mhail that the famous Ring of Steall traverses, one of Britain's greatest hiking routes.

The UK's second highest waterfall and taller than Niagara falls. It is impressive to see

A car park at the end of the glen provides a good starting point to walk up to these falls. After about 30 minutes you will come out into a small glade with wide open views to the falls, which may be familiar to Harry Potter fans. A steel wire bridge can be crossed to get up close to the base of the fall.
