Gartmorn Dam Country Park and The Devon Way
|
Walk
ID: 3384 |
At the southern foot of the scenic Ochil Hills, in the little county of Clackmannanshire, lies Scotland's oldest artificial reservoir, dating from 1713 and much favoured by wildfowl. Winter visitors include whooper swans, greylag geese, pochard, teal and wigeon. This flat and easy walk circumvents the reservoir, centrepiece of Gartmorn Dam Country Park, before joining part of The Devon Way along the course of a former railway track. For an optional short detour visit Sauchie Tower, a mediaeval tower house currently being surveyed with a view to restoration. The walk then re-enters Sauchie and passes the Mansefield Arms public house before returning to the country park.
