Scottish Wildlife Trust Falls of Clyde Visitor Centre

Enjoy great family days outs in Lanarkshire.  The Falls of Clyde Wildlife Reserve covers 59 hectares, comprising areas of ancient woodland along both sides of the River Clyde's gorge.
 

Spectacular Waterfalls at Clyde Visitor Centre
 

The Clyde flows through the gorge over a series of 4 spectacular waterfalls, from which the reserve takes its name. Corra Linn, the largest of the waterfalls, features an 84 foot drop and was immortalised by William Woodsworth after a visit in 1802 as the "Clyde's most majestic daughter".

The Falls of Clyde is an ancient gorge woodland with spectacular and famous falls.

The reserve stretches along both sides of the Clyde gorge, from the historic village of New Lanark southwards to Bonnington Weir. As well as the spectacular falls from which it takes its name, the reserve contains fine examples of oak woodland and an abundance of wildlife. Over 100 species of bird are found on the reserve, including unsurpassed views of nesting peregrine falcons (March-June).
 

Great Activities on the Wildlife Reserve
 

The Scottish Wildlife Trust runs the Falls of Clyde Visitor Centre in New Lanark, containing a shop and exhibition. While visiting the exciting Visitor Centre, you can find out more about the creatures and features of the reserve. You can discover what lurks beneath the River Clyde or experience life as a badger with the interactive displays and learn about bats in the unique 'bat booth'.

Particular attention is payed to badger ecology and woodland management. From here, the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Ranger Service organises educational events and guided walks on the reserve.

These include peregrine viewing, badger watching, children's activity as well as guided walks to look at fungi, flowers, waterfalls and bats.
 

Great film footage of these spectacular waterfalls and great activities on the reserve is now available to view.
