Carron Valley Reservoir is one of the largest in Scotland, supplying roughly 135,000 people in the Fortth Valley with water. The reservoir is 3 miles long and has plenty to do with purpose built mountain bike trails, walks around the reservoir and beyond into the surrounding woodland.

If you take the path off of the main path here towards the reservoir there is a bench with a lovely view of the reservoir. Perfect for a lunch stop.
