Loup of Fintry Waterfalls from west of Fintry village

Start/Finish

Very limited roadside parking (about 6 cars), at the start of the short path to the waterfalls, on the B818 which goes west from Fintry for about 2 miles. The road is very narrow in places but you should be able to see the parking spots as tehr oad widens briefly at about NS 662 863. There is a sign post and gate at the start of the path which is on the south side of the road.

No peaks.     OS sheet 57: Stirling & Trossachs

Introduction

This is one of the most scenic waterfalls in the area and is well worth a visit. The path is short but slightly overgrown with ferns. The best views are from the path to the falls rather than at the falls themselves. It seems that there used to be a path to the stream at the bottom of the falls but this is now overgrown and not recommended. The area around the falls is rocky with steep drops so children and dogs need to be carefully controlled. Sadly, the ground above the falls is badly littered by some people who don't care about the scenery and how their actions ruin it for other people. They are selfish, moronic vandals whom the world would be better off without.

Route

(1) From the sign post, follow the path to the top of the falls.

(2) Retrace the outward route.
