New path on the Great Glen Way now open
Published: Friday, 12 June 2026
The new path connecting Ancarraig and Clunebeg is now complete.
The new Ancarraig to Clunebeg section of the Great Glen Way, taking the route off the Bunloit Road for its 3.3km length, is now open to walkers and cyclists. Horse-riders are kindly requested to wait until late summer, particularly on the steeper Clunebeg end, in order to allow the surface to naturally dry and settle correctly, with thanks for your patience. Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the opening ceremony which was planned for Friday 19th June, but we hope you enjoy the varying landscapes and wildlife to be found away along the new route! There is still a small part of the route to complete where forestry extraction works are taking place, please take care in this area and follow the advice signs.
The project was implemented on budget by Mark Hedderwick and his team at Hitrak Ltd, who are highly skilled in their craft, having used local materials and taken great care of local environment and vegetation throughout the project. We are grateful to Highlands Rewilding for their co-operation and gift of land throughout the project, and to the Outdoor Access team at the Highland Council for their project management and ongoing maintenance work on the route. Users of the Great Glen Way spend around £3m in local businesses annually, and we are continually seeking to improve the experience for our visitors and local users.
