Wildlife Reserve
The Falls of Clyde Wildlife Reserve stretches along both sides of the Clyde gorge from the historic village of New Lanark southward to Bonnington Weir.
The reserve covers 59 hectares of woodland with three spectacular waterfalls and is part of the
Clyde Valley Woodlands National Nature Reserve.
The reserve is home to over 100 species of birds including kingfishers, dippers, woodpeckers and of course our resident
peregrines. Look out for badgers, bats and otters as well as a variety of wildflowers, fungi and invertebrates.
We run fun and exciting events so why not join our ranger on one of our events or guided walks?
