This was a walk that I didn’t have much idea what it might be like. It crossed farmland to a waterfall, named Falls of Clyde on the map. The falls were bigger than imagined and had a large pool below. Beyond that we could see a gorge and walked along the top, descended at the far end and proceeded to walk through. The cliffs were quite big in one section and there were numerous patches of white stain from we assume birds of prey.

However, the gorge was very weedy and invaded with willow
and gorse and of course the water was murky.
It did make me wonder what it must have been like before the country was
developed for agriculture. The land pays
a huge price for development, it would have been great if more land had been
spared.

After the walk which took about 3:30 with lunch for the 7
kilometres, we drove to Nant for a pleasant coffee in comfortable surroundings. Many of the buildings were historical and
most interesting with a working water wheel.
