Woodland Streams at Ochil Hills Woodland Park

Highlight • Forest

The Wood Hill, between Alva and Tillicoultry, is what remains of the grounds of Alva House (now demolished) and is now the Ochil Hills Woodland Park.

As well as attractive walks in deciduous woodland, the park has a children's play area, a number of picnic sites and display boards describing the former grandeur of the old estate.

View of Alva from the Hill Path

Highlight • Trail

Not really a gravel bike descent when the grass is damp as there is no traction and very hard to control on steep slope just before the stony hairpins of the Nebbit. Best done on mtb.

This hill isn’t in the Scottish Highlands, it isn’t part of the Cairngorms range. It doesn’t measure 1,081m (3457ft) You can’t see Ben Nevis, you might be able to see the southern part of the Cairngorms range on a good day.
It is however a lovely hill in the Ochil Hills, measures 679m and is a subsidiary hill of Ben Cleuch, the highest in the Ochil Hills.

Silver Glen Waterfall and Silver Mine

Highlight • Waterfall

The Silver Glen lies approximately 1 km to the east of the town of Alva, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, and takes its name from the silver that was mined there in the early 18th century. The story of the silver mine is a remarkable one. The deposit, the richest deposit of native silver ever found in the British Isles, was discovered just as the Jacobite rising of 1715 was breaking out, and its owner, Sir John Erskine, left to join the rebels, leaving his wife in charge of the mine. Some 40 tons of ore were raised and buried in barrels in the grounds of Alva House, whilst the richest of the ore was smelted and the ingots concealed under floorboards inside the house. The mine was then filled in during the aftermath of the failed rising, but its existence was revealed to the government by an employee of the Erskines. Samples of the ore were analysed by Sir Isaac Newton and found to be very rich. Sir John was later able to secure a pardon for his role in the rising, on condition he revealed all he knew about the mine, and gave a tenth of the proceeds to the government. Mining resumed a few years later and the remainder of the deposit was extracted. Later, in 1759, a vein carrying erythrite, an ore of cobalt, was found and gave a new lease of life to the mines, but it was soon exhausted
