Clyde Valley Circular Route is a 6.5 mile loop trail located near Lanark, South Lanarkshire, Scotland that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and nature trips.
This is a beautiful circular walk in the forest along the River Clyde. Starting in New Lanark, you'll pass by Dunduff Linn and Corra Linn before crossing the river at the weir and walking back alongside the opposite side of the water. At the other end of the loop, cross the river at the Riverside Road bridge and pass Castlebank Park before arriving back at the starting point.
January 16, 2021January 8, 2021Really nice and scenic walk, very slippy in the snow and ice weather we’ve been having recently though so walking boots are a must for this trail!
December 30, 2020December 24, 2020Nice walk - definitely on the easy side though. Well worth it, waterfalls are a beaut.
October 25, 2020October 24, 2020October 15, 2020A beautiful walk along the Clyde through picturesque woodland. The views are stunning with so many opportunities along the way to stop and admire. The terrain on the side across from the heritage site did get very boggy underfoot so walking boots are recommended.
October 14, 2020September 13, 2020Great trail!! Highly recommending to go clockwise, that way you will experience the majority of views when you full of energy, as the second half is more of a relaxing forest walk.
September 9, 2020the first half of the route was honestly rubbish. the pathways weren't very well kept and there were fallen trees all over. however, it vastly improved once we reached the waterfalls. worth the walk (almost) but I'd recommend the smaller 3 mile route rather than the loop.
September 9, 2020Beautiful walk, highly recommended
August 30, 2020August 29, 2020August 22, 2020August 19, 2020we did the route anti clockwise, and couldn't recommend it enough. the beginning goes through some nice houses, and once you go round and over the bridge you make your way to the falls. when you get to the main falls, make your way around and below the viewing point and onto the falls themselves. It was an amazing picnic spot! I prefer this direction as you end on a high with great views of the falls, if you go the suggested route you end on a low in my opinion. lovely trail, not boggy, as I had anticipated a wet muddy walk.
August 12, 2020Great views of the waterfalls and the Clyde. Some muddy regions but overall a good 10km trail!
August 9, 2020Ok on the way to the falls, muddy and off track round the back end.
July 27, 2020Great walk - lots of nice spots to see the Falls of Clyde and lots of places to stop and rest. Some parts were a bit boggy but the majority of the route was not.

First to ReviewStarting at the mill and walking along the boardwalk is a nice walk then after you cross the bridge you get a couple of fantastic viewing platforms to see the power of the waterfalls. then it's a long walk back to New Lanark. after you cross the 2nd bridge there is a gate that says keep dogs on leash and 24h CCTV in operation. this is the gate to get back on to the walkway. it looks like private property but it's fine to go through. took us 2h45min to walk the entire walk.
