The Falls of Clyde classic, New Lanark
23 minute walk from Lanark station · Glasgow and West Central · Free entry
This short walk along the Clyde from the World Heritage Site of New Lanark is a bona fide Scottish classic. Passing a powerful series of waterfalls as it passes up a beautiful wooded gorge before a more placid return route takes you through fields and woodland. The walk can be extended by following a waymarked additional route on the far side of the river. The route is also the final section of the Clyde Walk Way which finishes at the 4th waterfall, Bonnington Linn, although most walkers will then complete the loop described here to return to New Lanark.
