Description de la randonnée

Start : Saint Paul Kinlochleven church. PH50 4QT

(S/E) With your back to the car park entrance, walk on a diagonal to the corner left (North-West) of it towards the church. You will see a donation post. Take the footpath to its left between the church and the house. At the junction, turn left towards the "Grey Mares Waterfall Kinlochleven community trust sign". At the junction keep straight (left-hand) on the main footpath.

At the next junction, turn left towards the waterfall sign again. On the way up, you will have some snapshots of the waterfall on your left. Go down some steps to cross the stream using the wooden footbridge. When you crossed it, turn left at the waterfall sign. You now follow the riverside on your left-hand side.

Walk following the most obvious path until you see the waterfall in front of you. There are boardwalks and cables to get closer to the falls however you will need some balance. Please do not carry on the Via ferra.

When you finished enjoying the falls, go back to the same path you came from with the river in your right hand now. Cross the wooden footbridge right and go up the steps.

(1) At the next junction take the footpath left. (Alternative route to get a view of the valley). Go up the hill, through the wooden gate to reach a path junction with a bench on your left hand up the hill. Go left up the hill to enjoy the view then come back done and carry on down the hill with your back on the bench until you reach the footpath you used to go to the waterfall before.

However, now turn left down the hill. Pass the church on your right and turn right in between that church and the house to get back to the car park. (S/E)
