    The Falls of Clyde are a series of spectacular waterfalls hidden within the woodland of the Clyde Valley, just a short walk from New Lanark. The route follows the river through ancient woodland, past viewpoints looking out over the falls at Corra Linn and Bonnington Linn.

    The reserve is home to a wide range of wildlife, including otters, badgers and peregrine falcons, making it a favourite spot for nature lovers as well as walkers.

    Well-maintained paths make this an accessible walk for most abilities, and it pairs perfectly with a visit to New Lanark itself.
