Devon Way, Protected trail in Clackmannanshire, Scotland
Devon Way is a protected trail in Clackmannanshire that winds through rolling hills, moorland, and river valleys. The path passes through several small villages and offers both walking and cycling routes with well-maintained sections throughout.
The trail follows sections of old railway lines that once transported coal and goods during the 19th-century industrial boom in central Scotland. These abandoned lines were later converted into walking and cycling paths as part of modern heritage conservation efforts.
The trail network integrates with local communities, offering residents and visitors opportunities to explore the natural environment and Scottish outdoor heritage.
The trail can be entered at several points along its length, with parking available near main access spots. Sections vary in difficulty, with some areas being flatter and easier while others include steeper inclines requiring more effort.
The path crosses Dollar Burn with specially designed bridges that allow year-round access to otherwise hard-to-reach areas. These structures enable walkers and cyclists to explore the riverside landscapes regardless of water levels or seasonal conditions.
