Why it's Wildland
6.4A short walk from Glenoe village leads into a small glen where paths and steps descend towards a picturesque waterfall.
Gleno makes a brief stop feel like an immersion in a proper little glen: the waterfall is close to the village, but steps and paths bring you down into its enclosed, rushing landscape. Its compact scale suits a focused visit rather than a full day out.
