Falls of Glomach via Glen Elchaig

The Falls of Glomach are perhaps the most magnificent waterfalls in Britain, with a single leap of 113 metres (370 feet). They require a fair walk to reach from any direction; the shortest and more usual route is from Strath Croe but the approach up Glen Elchaig is a far finer walk, though much care is needed on the approach to the falls.

As far as where the path leaves Glen Elchaig the route follows excellent tracks ideal for cycling. After leaving the track, the falls approach path crosses very steep and dangerous ground on often slippery rocks above a big drop. This part of the walk should be avoided by those without a head for heights.
