Instruction 1
At the top end of the car park a well-built path runs gently uphill under woods of birch and hazel, across what turns into a very steep slope. For a few paces it becomes a rock-cut ledge, with a step across a waterfall side stream. The path at this point is on clean pink granite, but you will see a boulder of grey schist beside the path just afterwards. Ahead, the top of the Steall Fall can now be seen through the notch of the valley.
Instruction 2
The path continues briefly downhill to cross a second stream; the rock now is schist, with fine zig zag stripes of grey and white. A short rock staircase continues to a wooden balcony section. From here the path is just above the bed of the Nevis Gorge. The river runs through huge boulders, some of which bridge it completely.
Instruction 3
Quite suddenly, the path emerges on to a level meadow above the gorge. The path runs on the left hand edge of the meadow to a point opposite the waterfall.
Instruction 4
The walk ends here, beside a footbridge which consists simply of three steel cables over a very deep pool. Retrace your steps back to the car park.
