How can i review a place,hours after i have enquired about it. I HAVE NOT BEEN YET. GIve me time to go there. Its a future plan. Please rearrange your algorithms or whatever to act sensibly.😡 Ok visited the sat 3rd Aug.Right off the beaten on the road between Strathaven and Stonehouse lies the in a hidden valley. How did they get their name? Legend has it that in ancient days, in other lives the owner of the long ruined mill there stole the girlfriend of an employee. In a fit of rage and revenge he succeeded in burning the mill to the ground. During the act he dropped his spectacles on a part of the roof, thus the name. So,could be,could no be. Good yarn anyway🤪The are beautiful but i give serious WARNING.The long hard down to the is TOTALLY Unsuitable for the elderly or anyone with mobility issues of any kind. I needed a long rest and loads of fluids at Strathaven park after my visit which was a lot more arduous than Calderglen last week. I needed a lot of help from my friend. I was lucky to make it, remember its both ways. Young and fit, off ye go, for me it was a bloody assault course🥵 Great from strathaven Beautiful falls, with some nice walks around it A couple of interpretation boards give visiting walkers some interesting information about the area. It's an uneven footpath. There's a viewing platform to get up close to the waterfall. continues to the meetings of Avon and the Kype. It was a lovely frosty snowy day for our walk. Short to the however you could miss the as they are around a corner it actually signposted! The noticeboard is actually relaying the story of the mill and it was only that we walked down to read the board that we realised this was where the viewing point is for the falls. We continued along the however just turned back at the bridge as we didn't know if it was a circular or not and didn't have time to to Straven. Nice wee for a Sunday morning stunning If you have a decent map or GPS you can do this lovely in either direction between Strathaven and Sandford. I've done it 3 times - both directions. It's around 2 miles one way. There are some steep steps in places but the footpath alongside the is flat and grassy - take care where it's narrow with stone flagstones. The is very photogenic (picture 1) and the wee footbridge over the Avon is fun (picture 2). There are information boards at the ruined mill explaining the interesting story behind the farm arsonist! Go on a sunny day and take your camera. Allow around 2 if you do it both ways. This is a hidden gem. It's easy to access and offers a peaceful retreat, especially with the historical charm of the Mill ruins nearby. It's a fantastic spot for a post-work stroll to reconnect with nature. Do be cautious, as the rocks by the can be slippery in the winter. On a side note, while following the upstream, I noticed what appeared to be a sewage pipe discharging into it, accompanied by a noticeable odor. Therefore, I would advise against swimming in these waters. A lovely with a walkway to view the falls. The ruins of the old mill are nice as well with an information board telling you the history of the area. Highly recommend coming after heavy rainfall. Loved this place. The plaque at the bottom gives you a little history of rhe place and it has quite a sad tale attached to it. Very very picturesque but some what difficult to get to the base of the fall as you have to navigate across the but as you can see. Well worth the effort. Nothing else to see. One of the most boring landscapes attached to locations but if you like waterfalls then you not going for the woodland Nice interesting short from Strathaven. can be muddy and rooted nearer the so decent footwear required . Beware some of the fencing is very much past it's best in route combine that with some steep drops and Id be keeping children on a short leash ... otherwise a nice way to spend a couple of in the countryside Nice for a walk. Fall are average. Access via a bridge and field. A rather straightforward walk. Park at comment green, beware you only get three free parking. Google yourself toward Todshill street. along road until you come cross the with sight indicated "heritage Spectacle E'e fall". Go through the follow the you come to another gate, along you will come to a bridge with sign 3/4 m to Sanford. Once you cross the you can turn right towards the fall or turn left along the river. I turned left and passed the for farm. Follow the trace you will pass the farm and turn left follow the road. Finally you arrived at a signed public to the fall. Go through the that will lead you to the fall. When leaving turn to the river, at riverside, there is another bridge, do not pass it. Stayed at right side of the river, and you come to the bridge you pass when you come. back to the town. The take you 1.5 to 2 time, leave you enough time to reclaim your car. Such a nice place for a couple of out Nice short with a dog. Unfortunately the place is not accessible for disabled people, stairs, muddy path. The makes an impression. Unbelievably powerful after a storm! A real spectacle to be sure, but many of the trails leading to the were flooded by the river. High wellieboots, or even waders, are a must when visiting during or after dramatic weather. During normal weather I understand the following the to be pleasant but uneven. Lovely to spactacular waterfalls then along the water. Can take the all the way to Strathaven. Can be tricky to get to depending on weather conditions. I go here for cold dip/swimming. Fine wee short ramble to the falls. Wouldn’t recommend for those unsteady on their feet as it’s quite uneven underfoot , especially down beside the water. The spray from the coated the flora with ice which made it all the magical and spotting rare ‘hair ice’ made our visit unforgettable This place is fab! I had a lovely hiking day in a good weather. If it’s raining or after rain definitely recommend some mud proof shoes and trousers. And shoes are a great idea as well so could enjoy some activities. My husband accidentally fell into the when he tried to take photos from the other side of the little river. So maybe a pair of spare socks and towel if necessary? It’s fun for children but not fun for carrying a child and around. Stunning and lovely down A nice well signed over the fields Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
