南スコットランドの峡谷・トップ11

下の道は、冬の倒木/被害のため、一時的に閉鎖されていると標識が出ています。しかし、道はまだ通行可能で、ルートは塞がれていないので、自己責任で通り抜けることができます。

Fine to ascend / descend on a gravel bike. May need to hike a small 20m section depending on tyre width as the stones get a bit bigger for a small section, would be fine to ride down though

Fine to ascend / descend on a gravel bike, not easy though :). There may be a small 20m section you have to hike depending on your tyre width as the stones get a bit bigger for a small section

Excellent walk. I would recommend walking boots. It's an interesting walk that has its challenges but is very manageable. Fantastic sounds and sights, some of which are dramatic and a little scary. About a third of the way in near the waterfall make sure you dip between the rocks and take a good look at the waterfall, it's just of the path. We managed 95% of the walk before it became too difficult. When you getvthe stream 30% of the way through, keep going, cross the stream and climb, the path does come back. Also after the stream go up the path ro the right for another great view. Walking only, you will need to go over and under some fallen trees. Fantastic 2 hours. There is a little car park near by for about 6 cars.

A beautiful spot with some fantastic natural geological features, some man made epic structures, gorges, bridges and rushing water, wildlife a plenty .. go see for yourself there’s loads to see here .

The views from the side of Logan Burn here just below the Pinnacle are just simply super nice. You have the view of nearby Loganlee Reservoir to the northeast, and you are surrounded by the Pentland Hills on all sides. Nearby is also Logan Burn Waterfall. If you are going to have a rest somewhere, this is as good a place as any.

steep descent maybe better to do walk in reverse

The Green Cleugh valley in the Pentland Hills, south-west of Edinburgh, is a real highlight for any mountain biker looking for a mix of challenge and scenic beauty. The Pentlands, a range of hills stretching for around 32 kilometres and including twelve peaks, mostly over 500 metres high, offer a variety of routes for outdoor enthusiasts. Green Cleugh itself is a steep-sided valley, framed by the peaks of Black Hill and Hare Hill. The route through this valley is not only known for its natural beauty, but also for the tranquil atmosphere that can be felt even on the wildest days. The descent down to the river is described by many bikers as particularly attractive, as it is both technically challenging and scenically impressive. The route that runs through Green Cleugh is a wonderful way to link up various loops in the Pentlands. With smooth tarmac at either end and a varied mix of flowing trails, some loose rocky sections, grass, three stepping stones, two gates and a couple of bridges in the middle, it offers a versatile riding experience. This diversity makes the valley a memorable experience for mountain bikers. Most notably, the route is suitable for both suspension bikes and rugged hybrid bikes, making it an ideal destination for bikers of various ability levels. The route feels "off-road-y" without being too technical, making it fun for anyone who wants to feel like they're off the beaten track without encountering extreme challenges. The Green Cleugh valley is not just a ride through beautiful countryside, it's also a link between various loop routes in the Pentlands and beyond, making it a central hub for exploring the area. Whether you travel from north to south or vice versa, the route offers a unique mix of natural beauty and cycling fun.
