Alva Glen is a popular route for local walkers. A good,
solid path leads from the car park, passing, after about 5
minutes, the first of five waterfalls, then up though the steep,
narrow-sided glen, with incredible views of the river below.
(Not ideal for very small children). The last waterfall is the
most spectacular. There are several paths at the lower end of
the route. Signposted off the A91 in the village of Alva,
through a potted road near industrial premises to Alva Glen car
park.
Ochil Hills Woodlands Park
was originally landscaped as
an informal garden for Alva House by Sir John Erskine, the third
Baronet of Alva and Cambuskenneth. A keen Jacobite, he fought at
Sherriffmuir in 1715. To pay for the gardens, he used some of
his wealth, acquired from a seam of the richest deposit of
native silver recorded in Britain, found on his estate. Today
there is a network of paths through the woods, children’s play
area, picnic tables, information boards and car parks.
Signposted off the A91, between Alva and Tillicoultry.

The Historic Trail (highlighted by the
footprints on the map) takes you around the Old Town to all the
places, buildings and sites of historic importance. As you walk
along the trail, a series of information plaques will tell you
the fascinating stories and events from the past. Allow half an
hour to one and a half hours to walk this route. (Map Grid Ref:
