Overview

We start the walk at 10:30 am  from Lanark Bus Station . We begin by walking to Lanark Loch, we follow the path around the loch and on leaving the loch we proceed to the path that goes down to New Lanark, this path is steep (care required).

The lunch stop will be at New Lanark.

After lunch we have two options: if good weather we can walk to the falls of Clyde and return to New Lanark, if the weather conditions are poor, we will return to Lanark. we will finish the walk in the town of Lanark, whatever option we follow.
