Leanachan
Where we are
Latest forest information
- The Cackle and The Broomstick Blue trails have had to be closed due to unsafe boardwalk. Please follow all safety information on site and avoid using these trails.
- Tree felling work is currently being carried out in the wider Leanachan forest beyond North Face Car Park and is expected to continue until June 2023. This will mean some sections of the Forest are closed and there will be large vehicle and lorry traffic on the forest roads including the access road to North Face car park. Please remain vigilant and follow all safety information that you come across.
About
A nationally renowned hub of outdoor activities
Leanachan forest is popular for walking, running and cycling, with miles of trials under the northern slopes of Ben Nevis, including the North Face Trail at the Torlundy end of the forest.
There’s marvellous mountain biking here too: Leanachan is home to some world famous mountain bike events, but you don’t have to be a pro to enjoy the Witch's Trails.
Leanachan is an active working forest, producing large quantities of timber every year. We’ll post updates on the website about any work that affects the trails and you’ll find signs on site with details.
