Britain's biggest mountains, from the highest summit in the land to the great walls of Glen Coe
This is the heart of the Scottish Highlands and some of the most dramatic mountain country in Britain, 926 km² running from Fort William through the Mamores and down into Glen Coe. It has the highest, biggest hills in the land, and the scenery is on a scale nothing else in Britain quite matches.
Ben Nevis, the highest point in the British Isles, stands at the western edge, while the peaks of the Aonach Eagach form a knife-edge ridge along the north wall of Glen Coe. Around them rise a host of big Munros, from Aonach Beag to Am Bodach.
This is the most serious walking ground in the country. People have died on Ben Nevis and the Aonach Eagach in particular, so you need real experience, navigation skills and settled weather for the summits — and in winter they are full mountaineering.
