Other walks in the area
Tinto Hill
A good one if you are new to hill walking thanks to the well-trodden footpath from start to finish. Lovely views of Lanarkshire and beyond on a clear day! Tinto summit is at 711m / 2332ft so a serious hill walk.
Grey Mares Tail Waterfall, Moffat
A hike up past the spectacular Gray Mare's Tail waterfall to the remote and tranquil Loch Skeen
Lanark Loch
This short walk and flat walk is ideal on a warm day. There is a great playground and the area is accessible with pushchairs and prams if you avoid the detour into the woods. If you have ever been to Western Canada, well it feels like being there.
The Falls of Clyde, New Lanark
Best experienced after a period of sustained rainfall, this section of the River Clyde is pretty spectacular. Starting in the historical village of New Lanark, the track forms the last section of the Clyde Walkway and is basically a woodland walk with viewpoints to the waterfalls along the river, the most photographed of these being Corra Linn which plunges down 26m over the rocks!
Falls of Clyde
Starting in the historic village of New Lanark, follow the Clyde Walkway through the woods, stopping at several viewpoints to see the spectacular waterfalls along the river. The return route brings you down the opposite bank of the river and into Kirkfieldbank, then through Castlebank Park.
Remains of Morton Castle and Morton Loch
This is a quick wander to visit Morton Castle. It is a nice family walk to visit the ruins and enjoy views of the countryside.
