View of Ben Nevis from Cow Hill

Highlight • Trail

From half way up Cow Hill, which is not a great height, you have nice fleeting views south east of the looming impressive bulk of Ben Nevis through the treeline. The paths hereabouts are great too, and it's great to be able have a nice hike through some woodlands too.

At this point on the Cow Hill Trail, you can see the highest mountain on the island in clear weather. I was denied this opportunity.
