Isolated pond in woodland

This isolated pond near Fassfern doesn't seem to have a name. It is a little off the beaten track but not hard to find if you are aware of its existence.

Fassfern car park

From here several routes head into the hills. None are particularly difficult (depending on how far you go) and all of them will give pleasant walking for a couple of hours with some good views southwards.

Road to Fassfern car park

Off the A830 Fort William to Mallaig road not far after the entrance to Linnhe Holiday Park you will find a minor road turning to the right. It is well signposted and leads to the public car park at Fassfern Link

The car park is on the left. The road ahead is a logging road which carries on deep into the hills and divides into several other roads.

Path from Fassfern car park

This wooden gate leads to a path which is well-worth following. It will take you into the hills on a route which is neither steep nor difficult and after a couple of hours will bring you back to the car park down the logging road in this image Link There are some good views to be had from this path.

Path from Fassfern car park

Once through the gate in this image Link you will come to a T-junction - turn right (left takes you back to the public road) and simply follow your nose bearing in mind that you are following a circular route back to the car park so at any junction of paths you come to you must turn right.

Fassfearn bridge

This single lane stone brig carried all the A830 Mallaig to Fort William road traffic over the An t-Suileag right up until around 1972. At that time Mallaig was a very busy herring port generating much heavy truck traffic. Now it carries just a few local vehicles a day. Dramatic rapids, especially in spate conditions , lie just down stream of this point.
