What visitors say

Jagoda Czuplak

A lovely walk along the river, with good views of the waterfalls. There were many viewpoints, though some views were limited (blocked by trees). Do note there are quite a few uphill sections with a lot of steps! But overall, a beautiful place and perfect for birdwatching.

Beautiful, long walk up on a hill! But worth to seen it! Good family program! And in the visitor centre there is food, toilet, gift shop.

Beautiful views of the river and waterfalls from a well kept footpath. Good signage along the route which is easy to follow.

One of the best places to walk on the river bank all the time.... And with the show of the waterfalls along with the history from New Lanark. If you want to see the museum you have to buy tickets right there.PAYMENT PARK.
