Connect Clova with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Clova to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Clova’s Slow Ways.

From here the path climbs up the right hand side of Loch Brandy, this is a less well made path climbing steeply up through boulders, large stones and muddy patches. At the top you turn right onto a path over rough level ground to a deer fence. I carried along beside this fence right up to The Goet, this is gently undulating uphill, there isn't really a path, just peat hags alternating with rough grass, with some bog and a couple of lochans. Back at the fence line there is a small stile, cross here and you will see your path below to the right snaking down Black Shank. There was no break in the fence line or clear path and to get across the field steeply down to the marked bridge I would have had to cross a field with lambs and ground nesting birds in, so I continued on the road instead, which snakes alongside the Water of Saughs through the Glenlethnot estate to Bridgend and then Burnfoot. I took the road right down to Kirkton of Menmuir and turned right there as again there were livestock in the field and no clear path where the SlowWays route tracks....

On the left at the end of the fence on you turn down a footpath towards the river and turn left along by the river on a small path over a little bridge and then a bigger one over the river and up the other side to the main road. At the start of the trees there is a track turning right down the hill to a footbridge over the river, this takes you onto the Dounault path which rejoins Jock's Road beyond the damaged section, it's all easy forest tracks down to the Ranger Base apart from some debris on the path in places...
