Den o’ Alyth

📌 Gorge in Alyth, Perth & Kinross
★★★

If you go down to the woods west of Alyth today, you’re sure of a nice surprise – a dark and verdant gorge through which the Alyth Burn flows on its way into the village. Paths run along or close to each bank from near the car park, westwards for about a mile to the Bridge of Tully; beyond, you can continue a little way on the north side. It’s the sort of place where it’s fun to just wander around aimlessly, sheltered from the elements on a wild day. Paths are mostly wide but can be muddy and leaf-strewn (they don’t really get any sunlight), with some steep gradients if you go away from the burn.
