Walk Route
Fardross Forest River Trail
A short nice walk through woodland.
We walked this trail on a late Spring day which start at the small free car park.
The walk is just over half a mile long according to the information board.
The River Trail mainly follows the small pleasant river although some steepish uneven steps have to be climbed if you walk in an anti-clockwise direction.
The walk is ok if you have reasonably good mobility.
We saw little dog fouling and no litter.
Overall this is a nice place to visit for a short period of time if living locally and visiting nearby.
