The Lower Falls in Glen Nevis are visible from the road, but if you are able it's worth following the river up or downstream a bit to get a different view.

Once you've had a good look here, it's worth carrying on up the glen to the larger Steall Falls.

Paddy's Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

This wooden bridge connects the main route into Glen Nevis with the less frequented side route. The bridge leads over a raging waterfall. Very impressive background noise.

Eas Fors Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Eas Fors Waterfall, intriguingly named 'Waterfall Waterfall Waterfall' from its Gaelic and Norse origins, offers a unique spectacle where its lower tier plunges over 100 feet directly into the sea. For a safe and breathtaking view of this dramatic drop, park at the layby on the B8073, approximately 1 mile southeast of Ballygown. From there, walk about half a mile towards Ulva Ferry until you find a track leading down to the shoreline. This coastal path provides a stunning vantage point of the waterfall's final descent into the sea. Be cautious, as the beach can be rocky and slippery, especially after rain.
