Alva Glen (1.5 miles)

The glen can easily be reached on foot from the middle of the main street. Follow the brown sign which points up Brook Street. There is also ample parking space at the start of the walking route. The way up the glen is obvious and purpose-built walkways provide safe passage up the gorge. The waterfalls cascading from the dams once powered the town mills.

The path is steep going in places but it's not a long walk so there is no need to rush. As we reach the top of the glen, lovely views open out to the south and the hills glower to the north. From the pinnacle, work your way back down to the start.
