Description

This walk is along the old towpath on the Caledonian Canal, from the village of Fort Augustus to the Kytra Lock. With the canal on one side of the path and the scenic River Oich on the other, there are many beautiful views. A good family walk - the towpath is broad and firm all the way; no mud; no special footwear required (although if you go down to the riverside you could be in mud). There is a picnic area at Kytra Lock. There is no complete path on the other bank of the canal, so you return to Fort Augustus by the outward path.
