Overview

A circular walk from New Lanark.  The walk takes the route of the footpath alongside the river where we will see the Falls of Clyde which consist of four falls in total.  They are Bonnington Linn, Cora Linn, Dundaff Linn and Stonebyres Linn, of which we will see the first three on our walk.  It is quite spectacular if the river is in spate.

The route crosses the river near Bonnington Linn and then returns along the other bank before looping back to New Lanark.
