Something for the weekend? Walk our Walks week 5!

Another great walk from the Pathways Group, this one is the Foyers circular including upper falls.

A circular walk taking in both the upper and lower Falls of Foyers as well as the loch shore. 4 miles. Care should be taken on the narrow path after the Jane Fraser Memorial. Some climbing, especially up to the Lower Falls.

From the car park, turn left towards Whitebridge.

Turn right at the Waterfall Cafe sign and follow the track to the narrow bridge. Stop here and have a look at the upper Falls of Foyers.

Continue over the bridge and take the track along the side of the field. Take the track up to the right, which is steep for a small section then it begins to go downhill again. Just past a bench, (which used to have wonderful views of Foyers Bay!) take a left along a smaller, grassy path. Go through the gate and cross the grassy field, following the faint path towards the fence. Climb over the fence and follow the path towards the road leading into Foyers cemetery. (Alternatively you can scramble down a steep slope the the cemetery gate). Turn left towards the cemetery and keep to the right side heading towards the Jane Fraser memorial. Walk round the memorial, flowing a narrow path which will lead you down to the Loch shore. At the campsite follow the road up to the Bailey bridge and turn left across the bridge, following the road round as it goes towards upper Foyers. Take a right where it is signed for Foyers Bay house and Foyers lodges.

Just at the entrance to Foyers Bay house, there is a track to the right. Take this track, which is steep in places, will lead you up through the woods with views of the Upper Falls and eventually to the main road and Foyers Stores. Return to the car park.
