What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the Corra Linn area to be a place of stunning natural beauty, particularly the waterfalls and Clyde Valley views. While the castle ruins are unfortunately inaccessible due to safety concerns, the surrounding walking paths offer a magical and mystical experience for nature lovers. The main drawback is the inability to explore the historical site directly.
"Unfortunately all sealed off due to falling masonry. Would be nice to see it made safe for viewing as it is in a wonderful setting. The rest of the path on this side of the Clyde is great with terrific views of the waterfalls. Some of those would be better if the saplings that have grown up could be cleared."

"Not much to see of the castle ruins, as it is overgrown and inaccessible. One can only imagine though the setting it once held being surrounded by cliffs on 3 sides, with the roaring river below. Very nice area for outdoor walking."
