( Alva Glen. ) Alva Glen. Man. This Glen is Absolutely Fantastic Brilliant so it is. Water falls I couldn't stop taking photos of it. I don't know if the locals know how lovely a Glen they have here. How Beautiful it is. As my Girlfriend and I were walking the Glen we seen three people with High vises on. Not sure if they were workers or volunteers to help keep the Glen clean so I had to take a photo of them. The Glen nature trail is well fenced of so no one will fall into the water. The Glen is circular to bring you back to the beginning again. It a well good walk to go round. My Girlfriend and I enjoyed this walk. Took plenty of photos and short videos to show off. This Alva Glen should be Advertised of TV to bring more people to see it. This is one of Scotland Beauty spots. We came here and it was a wet day. We would love to go round it again on a sunny day. It has a wee carpark free too. So no worries. So come come come. Give this Glen a visit. The water falls are Beautiful to see as you walk around the Glen. Bonny...

Read moreA 16 car car park and quite a bit of care if you go past the 3rd waterfall up to Smugglers cave but this area is great for an explore as its slot canyon forms some great geology, walks , water features and interesting wildlife for all to enjoy. Moving from the lower paths and the footing becomes a little more slippy up to the 2nd waterfall where the dam was formed to control water for the mills during the heyday of the hillfoots industry.

Its been a long time since i was up here and the area shows some signs of needing extra care but a lot of it has been tamed to some extent without detracting from the natural beauty too much. Also a great access point for entry to a lot of walks across all the hill routes weather permitting as it can become difficult to navigate once your on some of the less known...
