New Lanark Mill Hotel New Lanark World Heritage Site An ideal base for walking of all levels As well as being a fantastic historical site, New Lanark is surrounded by beautiful countryside for walking including the Falls of Clyde Nature Reserve. The most popular route in the area is a circular path which takes in the four Falls of Clyde. This trail is 8 miles long and you can make a day of it with stops in neighbouring villages for refreshements. April to June is a great time to take this route as you will find Peregrine Falcons nesting right by the walkway and the Scottish Wildlife Trust will be on hand to answer any questions. This whole area is rich in wildlife and you can expect to see badgers, foxes, squirrels and deer as well as an abundance of bird life. Another popular walk is up Tinto Hill. Tinto Hill has a special place in the hearts of Lanarkshire people. Its graceful conical outline is easily picked out on the horizon to the south from throughout central Scotland. It is a satisfying 3 mile climb rewarding exceptional views that stretch from Northern Ireland round to the Lake District and all the way north to Lochnager. Most people climb from Fallburn, which is a well-worn and obvious route. The climb starts easily and then grows progressively steeper. Some sections are very loose underfoot. A great guide to the area is Walking in Clydesdale by Paul Lamarra. >>Hotel Info
