Description

Not many waterfalls at Ben Nevis are as handily placed as Glen Nevis Lower Falls, found directly underneath the valley road as it crosses a bridge over the River Nevis near Polldubh. There is a convenient car park and other tourists needs before taking the path over the bridge to view the falls. The main waterfalls are visible from the road, but it’s worth clambering along the northern banks both upstream and downstream of the bridge for alternative views (care required above some big drops)....here is were I viewed it. There’s a bigger waterfall further up the glen, the majestic Steall Falls, but these Lower Falls are at the very least a pleasant encounter to the the higher falls, these falls are also featured in the Harry potter and Braveheart films...as you see them clambering over the rocks.
Visited March 2023 and enjoyed my view of these falls at the highest mountain range in Britain. I enjoyed hearing the thundering roar of these falls as they cascaded down the mountainside. I dont use any smoothing techniques and love to show the natural texture of the water as it is. Taken on Vertical angled view to take in the drop of the waters to the river below. This is my second visit to these majestic falls, this time it wasn’t raining as I took pictures, it had been raining during the night and this added to the volume of water of the falls. I have a series of these more recent pictures of the falls and will place some more on here in due course
