A scenic gorge on the River Clyde, featuring three picturesque waterfalls, including the 18-meter-high Bonnington Linn, the Corra Linn, and the Dundaff Linn.
Quite a strenuous walk at times if you do the whole thing, make sure you wear decent walking shoes or boots, saw people attempting walks in trainers, not good! The paths obviously get wet at times and can be a little slippery. The scenery and viewpoints are quite spectacular. Quite a few benches dotted along the way. A few steeper climbs, not for those with limited mobility and whilst some of the climbs are via steps these are high in places and having longer legs is a bonus! You can choose to return the same way or take the alternative way back which leads you past some ruins of the once gracious buildings which dotted the route like the Hall of Mirrors, a helpful leaflet is available free from the visitor centre which gives a lot of information on the falls and the walking route etc. If you get to the end just past the weir is a good viewpoint before you make your way back.
Good walk along the River from New Lanark. Path was well marked and quite hilly. Watch where you walk, no handrails in some areas next to the river, also people don't seem to know how to clean up after their dogs.
Lovely forest walk along a river. Both boardwalk and dirt trail surfaces. Some inclines and stairs, but an easy/moderate walk overall. Well maintained paths with many beautiful views of the river below. Could do 5km walk a little past the falls overlook that we did or continue on a full loop through another small town that leads back to New Lanark. Fun and quick trip from Edinburgh or Glasgow. Make sure to stop by the information desk in New Lanark before beginning the walk. Really interesting history: William Wallace and his men supposedly hid within some of the river caves, the social elite during the world wars visited the falls as a popular tourist destination because they couldn't go to France, etc.
Amazing place to walk, different view points all along the path to see parts of the river. With such nice scenery and a cafe on site, what more could you ever need? I'd recommend getting an ice coffee to take around the walk with you
Woodland trail, a little steep in places but easy walking for the most part. Some interesting flora to see and stunning scenery. There is a large car park and public transport available to New Lanark.
Beautiful, great space for walking, also with dog. Amazing views
