Exploring and Protecting Clackmannanshire

Protecting the environment is about more than putting litter in the bin. Here at Clackmannanshire we have one of the best natural environments in Scotland, and we want to keep it that way.

The core path plans will not only help you enjoy the outdoors on foot, bicycle, horse and canoe, but also assist landowners and farmers in their management of access, particularly over agricultural land.

Everyone has the right to be on most land and inland water providing they act responsibly. Your access rights and responsibilities are explained fully in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
