Prince Charlie's Cave Walk
 

This newly restored trail offers superb views of Loch Arkaig, The Great Glen and Ben Nevis. Very steep in places, the trail wynds its way through the forest and out onto a plateau with some of the best views in the area. The path then joins onto the old pass that goes through to the ruined settlement of Fedden. The trail makes a detour off up to Prince Charlie's Cave where you can go to a viewpoint and then return to the main trail. Follow the main trail down through the forest where, if you are lucky, you may see a red squirrel or Pine Marten.
