Andy BelseyA view down The Cloves of Alva Glen, shot this morning. If you look closely in the distance on the top left, the two Forth crossings of Kincardine and Clackmannanshire Bridges can be seen.
STUDIOVHFI has a nice 'little' hike tonight in Alva Glen. Hadn't done that route for a few years and it was a bit tougher than I remembered... Anyway, got back down safely and very much enjoyed it! #hiking #hillwalking #hillwalkingscotland #alvaglen #ochills #ochilhills #scotland
Donald JamesA lovely view from Alva Glen, once the short climb out of the gorge is complete. Although it was a hazy day you can see all the way to the winding #forth in the distance beyond the plains and Alloa.
A super little walk, easy parking, sculpture trail and informative boards about the heritage of the area.... more details here

Alva Glen
The Alva Glen is a steep-sided cleft scored in the southern front of the Ochils range. This short walk up it follows a dramatic path, easy at first, which climbs up into this ravine. The upper part involves a steep ascent with precipitous slopes and ends at a viewpoint overlooking the Smuggler's Cave in the floor of the gorge.
