The Highland village of Spean Bridge, named after the structure built there by Thomas Telford, can be found where the Great Glen meets Glen Spean, some 12 miles to the NE of Fort William.
The village nestles amongst the foothills of Britain's highest mountains, and some of the best views of Ben Nevis and its substantial neighbours can be seen in the area. Glen Spean stretches eastwards from Spean Bridge, towards Roy Bridge and Glen Roy Nature Reserve. The Great Glen, or "Glen Mor", opens up to the NE and SW of the village.
The area makes an ideal holiday destination, whether you come for the walking, climbing, fishing, white water canoeing, riding, skiing, any of the other numerous activities available locally, or simply to relax and soak up the beautiful Highland scenery and warm local hospitality.
