Embark on an easy hike through the Corrieshalloch Gorge & Waterfalls loop, a short but rewarding adventure covering 1.3 miles (2.1 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 115 feet (35 metres). You can expect to complete this route in about 34 minutes. As you follow the well-maintained paths, you will find yourself surrounded by ancient woodlands, creating a unique microclimate. The highlight is undoubtedly the dramatic Falls of Measach, where the River Droma plunges 46 meters into the gorge, a truly impressive sight.
When planning your visit, remember that while the paths are generally clear, some sections can be steep. It is wise to wear appropriate footwear, such as hiking boots, especially if the weather is wet, as conditions can become slippery. This route is considered easy and is suitable for most skill levels, making it a great option for a quick outdoor escape. You will find the trailhead easily accessible, allowing you to start your exploration without delay.
This trail offers a unique opportunity to explore a deep, narrow "box canyon" that was carved by glacial meltwater, reaching depths of about 60 meters. You can gain different perspectives of the falls and the striking rock formations from a modern cantilevered viewing platform, or brave the Victorian suspension bridge for a direct view over the Falls of Measach. The Corrieshalloch Gorge National Nature Reserve is a special place, showcasing diverse flora within its unique environment.
