Explore a spectacular 140ft waterfall cascading through a dramatic gorge with woodland trails and multiple viewpoints along the south shore of Loch Ness.
Falls of Foyers is a natural beauty spot located in the small village of Foyers on the south side of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The main attraction is a spectacular waterfall with a dramatic 140ft drop into a scenic gorge, surrounded by tall trees and winding woodland pathways. The site offers multiple vantage points for visitors to experience the falls from different perspectives. Visitors can enjoy a short but rewarding walk through stunning woodland, where red squirrels can sometimes be spotted. The pathway features steep steps leading to an upper viewpoint that provides a full view of the falls—ideal for photography—and a lower viewpoint deeper in the gorge. For those seeking adventure, the trail continues along the gorge down to the shores of Loch Ness itself. The landscape changes dramatically with the seasons, as snow melt, rainfall, and summer sunshine affect the water flow, creating everything from a gentle trickle to a forceful surge. Falls of Foyers is free to visit and open year-round, making it accessible to families and visitors of all ages and fitness levels. A car park is conveniently located on the main road opposite the entrance. Local cafés nearby offer refreshments, making it an ideal stop for families exploring the Loch Ness area.
