Clackmannanshire View - Winter 2016 Paths Closed for Improvements You may have seen signs like this if you have been out and about around Cambus or south east of Alloa recently. Under the Inner Forth Landscape Initiative, the Council along with the Central Scotland Green Network Trust has secured funding to improve the path network for the benefit of the local population and visitors alike. Clackmannanshire Council The good news is that the paths will be bigger and better and open again soon. The Cambus Whisky and Wetland Wander will enhance paths in and around Cambus and Tullibody, creating an all abilities, circular route and access to the Forth Estuary. Walk to the Wetlands will do likewise south east of Alloa. These improvements will transform paths which are often muddy, into routes which are clean and accessible throughout the year. Both routes are flat and right on the doorstep of local communities, ideal for a range of uses - from family walks and cycles, to dog walking and keeping fit. The new paths lead to nature reserves close to the River Forth, which will also appeal to visitors keen for sightings of Clackmannanshire’s rich and varied wildlife. 8 You are here WARNING From 25 Jan to 11 Mar Path closed for surface improvements Crown Copyright and database right 2016.
