Currently the bridge is out. So bikes can not cross. You can scramble over the river further up the river. When across the bridge - go left. ***DO NOT GO RIGHT***, this Gorge route is very very dangerous.

If you cross the river there is an incredible full standing height cave behind Gilmour's Linn waterfall, well worth the adventure of getting there. Worth planning your trip for after a few dry days when the river can be crossed more easily.

There’s a good flow of water over threes falls even in summer months. Perhaps a better fall than Bracklinn when there’s been little rain, and the pools beneath are more accessible. The paths can be overgrown with bracken in July / August.
