Overview

Some pavement walking to the Green Bridge, then paths and tracks to the Blue Pool, then Torwood  Castle. Depending on weather conditions, there is the option to visit the Tappoch Broch. Paths are uneven, with exposed tree roots, and can be muddy.  We return to Denny by doing this route in reverse, 

To book your place, text Anne on 07719 290042 and remember to include your name in the text.
