Auldton to Douglas Path Update!

Thank you to everyone who reported the recent path damage at the top of The Strip in Douglas.

If you notice any damage or deterioration anywhere along the path, please let us know at [email protected] so it can be investigated promptly.

🥾🌿Strathaven: Looking for a gentle walk with stunning scenery: https://makeyourwaylanarkshire.com/trails/1060-sandford-and-the-spectacle-e-e-from-strathaven

This 6.12km route follows the Kype Water to where it meets the Avon Water with the spectacular Spectacle E'e Falls as a highlight along the route. ✨

This moderate walk offers a mix of riverside scenery, wildlife and countryside views. During Spring and Summer, the banks burst into colour with wildflowers, walkers may even spot grey wagtails, dippers or even an otter.

⚠The falls are in full spate, meaning there's heavy spray everywhere. Combined with falling leaves, paths right beside the water and lots of exposed tree roots completely hidden by the leaves, extreme care must be taken when walking this route!

⚠Please note that some field sections can be muddy and contain live stock.
Check the weather before setting off, you are responsible for your owns safety while out walking the route.

You may have spotted us out and about recently exploring options for the next stage of our Active Travel projects linking Glespin to Douglas, Leadhills to Wanlockhead and Upperton to Greengairs.

While we're still waiting to hear the outcome of our funding bids, with decisions expected at the end of November, we're using this time to gather information, look at opportunities on the ground, and make sure we're ready to move forward if we get the green light. 💚🤞
