Reviews for river hikes in Stirling
RalphsTrailTreks 路 reviewed about 1 year ago
Some slippery sections with wet leaves over wet stones. Mostly off- road, a short section in Bridge of Allan main road with wide pavements, and I chose to cut the walk short down Glen Rd in Dunblane. I also stayed on Upper Glen Rd, which is paved but no vehicles, NCN 765. A pleasant couple of hours.

Autumn brings a dazzling display of changing colours, but the weather, much like spring, can be erratic. Temperatures begin to drop, and daylight hours shrink rapidly, restricting hiking time. Winters are challenging with shorter days, snowfall, and icy trails. For the experienced, it presents a unique, exhilarating challenge. Check https://www.mountaineering.scot/. Best to avoid winter unless highly experienced.
