Overview

This is a lollipop walk with rewarding views from the top. 

Starting at the Ochil Hills Woodland Park CP, we follow the track up towards the Silver Glen. We then join the steep Landrover track with ‘The Nebit’on our left and continue upwards. We then turn left and skirt past Craighorn, Walking Due East, almost to the source of the Alva Burn. We then start our descent, up and over ‘The Cloves’ and to another track above the Alva Glen and pass the west side of the Nebit. 

Fantastic views on a good day.
