We are the Forth Valley Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Betty B.
Our first walk of 2026 is an easy local walk in Clackmannanshire.
From the bottom car park at Gartmorn Dam we follow good paths and tracks to the Brothie Burn. Woodland paths around the burn are muddy with numerous tree roots. We visit the sunken garden before joining the path around the Dam. Optional short climb up to viewpoint with good views of the dam and the Ochils.
The walk can be shortened to 2 or 3 miles as it is walked in two parts. Anyone interested in a shorter walk please contact Walk Leader.
Local grade C
Please allow time to negotiate the numerous speed bumps on the road up to the park.
Park in either lower or upper car park. Assemble for start of walk at bottom car park.
There will be a teabreak at the sunken garden and a lunch break further round the dam on the Coalsnaughton path.
Dam Good Coffee Shop may be open for lunch or coffee at the end of the walk but it is weather dependent. Information will be on their Facebook page on Saturday 3rd.
