Clyde Valley Woodlands National Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in South Lanarkshire, Scotland
The reserve contains six separate woodland sites spanning 12 kilometers along the River Clyde and its tributaries, featuring deep gorges and natural forest landscapes.
Established in 1981 with Cleghorn Glen, the reserve expanded in 2007 to include four additional sites: Chatelherault, Falls of Clyde, Mauldslie Woods, and Nethan Gorge.
At Jerviswood, near Cleghorn Glen, locals collect birch twigs during Lanark Lanimers celebrations to maintain traditional land rights of townspeople.
Two main visitor centers at Chatelherault Country Park and Falls of Clyde Reserve provide facilities and easy access to walking trails throughout the woodland areas.
The Hamilton High Parks section contains ancient Cadzow oaks that support beetle species found nowhere else in the region.
