Fort William Hotels

It's a popular spot for anyone looking to hike, cycle or even rock climb. And this dramatic scenery has led a fair few filmmakers to use it as a location, from scenes for Braveheart, Harry Potter and Rob Roy.

Places to see

While you're planning your trip to Fort William, make sure to set aside some time to get out into the country. There are lots of natural sights to enjoy, but Steall Waterfall is just one great example. This cascade of water is the perfect photo opportunity as well.

If you'd like to see Ben Nevis but don't fancy the scramble to the top, check out the Nevis Range Mountain Experience and see the highlands by gondola. Or soak up one of the most impressive manmade structures in Scotland with a trip on the West Highland Line to take in the lofty railway aqueduct.

Places to go and stay

Always a buzzing town at any time of year, Fort William really comes alive during the Fort William Mountain Festival, so it's worth checking to see when it's on.

If you'd like to explore the local dining scene, you'll have lots to get stuck into. There's a real range of eateries in the town with some popular ones being Ben Nevis Inn for Scottish food, Sugar & Spice for Thai dishes and Crannog Seafood Restaurant.

For Fort William hotels, try and check-in close to all the sights so you can make the most of your time. The Myrtle Bank guest house, the Highland Hotel and Nevis Bank Inn are all favourite spots.

But however you plan to spend your time in Fort William, make it a trip to remember and get out and discover all the town has to offer.
