The Conservation Team spent many midge filled days widening the path for all walkers alike.
“This path runs on the west side of the gorge above the cliffs. It is a short yet impressive path with a taste of woodland, river, cliffs and loch views. Ness Glen was a popular attraction in Victorian Times with its river walk and cliffs which tower several hundred feet above the river. The Glen is a site of special scientific interest. Here you will find Scots pine, larch, ash, Norway spruce, beech trees and rhododendron. If you are lucky you may spot deer in the woods. There are oceanic mosses and liverworts, ferns, lichens and a breeding bird community. You may see Flycatchers, Buzzards and even hear the odd Cuckoo.” East Ayrshire Woodlands
