Ben Nevis
By Fort William, Inverness-shire PH33 - Scotland, UK
  Share Location Map  
 
 
Ben Nevis, at 1344 metres, is the highest mountain in Britain. The name ‘Nevis’ is possibly derived from a Gaelic word meaning ‘venemous’. If so this would certainly capture the dark side of this peak which rises dramatically behind the Highland town of Fort William. Along it’s north face stretch some two kilometres of cliffs. Anyone heading to the top of this magnificent mountain needs to take account of the swiftly changing weather conditions and be competent at navigation.

I made the mistake one day of standing at the bottom of Ben Nevis and stating That doesn't look very big. My friend then pointed out these tiny dots climbing half way up which turned out to be climbers - then you realise just how big Ben Nevis really is.

The ideal way to see Ben Nevis would be from the air but you can still get a pretty good view from the ground even if what appears to be the top is infact nowhere near.

Certainly not a mountain to take on without plenty of preparation, but as a backdrop to Fort William Ben Nevis really takes some beating.

While you're there, I would recommend visiting the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre in Fort William which gives more details about the biggest mountain in Britain, plus the valley which runs below it. The valley is also worth a drive.
