Many visitors come to Ft. William to climb nearby Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, but the town is well worth a visit even if you aren't a mountaineer. Popular activities include admiring the scenery of the Lochaber Geopark, visiting the West Highland Museum, and relaxing in one of the town's traditional pubs, but the beauty of the area has also made it a popular location with filmmakers. Visitors might recognize some of the settings from their favorite movies, and they will also have the chance to hop aboard the train that whisked Harry Potter off to Hogwarts.
