Overview

This walk is an opportunity to see the impressive 18th century hunting lodge of Chatelherault and the Avon Gorge. We walk from the visitor centre along a a woodland path to the Green Bridge to cross Avon Water. On return we follow above the gorge, past the Cadzow Oaks and the ruins of Cadzow Castle. We recross the Avon on the spectacular Dukes's Bridge before walking back to the visitor centre.
