Where the lively Croe Water washes the foot of the Cobbler is a dramatic landscape that has attracted travellers for centuries. Make your own journey along the tree-lined river as it tumbles towards Loch Long.
Salmon swim in its waters, while otters play where it meets the loch. Each spring, the Croe Water’s banks are covered with bluebells.
