NCR 7 Forest Path

Highlight • Trail

This 10 mile stretch of the NCR7 south from Clatteringshaws Loch is well worth it - off road bike necessary though

Clatteringshaws Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

Striking dam that creates Clattringshaws Loch. You can't walk along the dam or get too close to the loch from here but it's a great structure to look at.

Tip by

A lovely little place to unwind watching the otters bath and play around in the water.
There is also picnic tables, public toilets and a car park here making it an excellent overnight bikepacking location as well.
