Do the short hike up to the falls. If you have more time continue on. This is a very scenic waterfall. It is not strenuous.

Going on from New Lanark, this is a nice walk to walk off the large lunch that I had. Very good and not too taxing.

Love this place. Great for a long walk, see the peregrine falcons when they're nesting, stunning waterfalls. The main building and old shops are also worth a look

The walk along the woodland track to the falls was very interesting with lots of flying wildlife to look at. The falls were very full of water on our visit which made the experience even more exciting. Going back to the car park, it was time to take a snack/drinks break before continuing on our journey.

The Falls of Clyde are often just seen from New Lanark (also lovely) but it is well worth the walk up and over the bridge. You can walk right round but an element of local knowledge is needed!

The walk to the Falls of Clyde are laid out well with boardwalks and gravel paths. The scenery is spectacular and add to that the wildlife you can see - great!

We parked ( free) at the New Lanark mill complex, then walked about a mile up the river valley, visiting the Scottish wildlife trust falcon viewing point on the way. Very helpful people, with telescopes set up. A donation is encouraged. Great walk and scenery. Toilets and food available at the mill complex.
