About Glenachulish

This wood is in a magnificent setting, within the horseshoe of the Beinn a'Bheithir massif, one of the most popular mountains in Scotland.

The views from the forest over Loch Leven are breathtaking and can be viewed en route to the high tops or by a short walk from the car park.

Tree cutting work is taking place in Glenachulish, affecting hill access. A diversion is in place. Please follow directions on safety signage.

How to get there:

Glenachulish is part of Glencoe. Ballachulish and Glenachulish is the nearest town or village.

From Fort William and Ballachulish, take the A828 west from the roundabout (signposted Oban). A few hundred metres past the Ballachulish Hotel turn left, signposted Glenachulish.

Follow this road for around half a mile to the car park and access to the forest and mountains.
