taken 6 years ago, near to Bellsmyre, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Path ascending to the edge of the woods
Path ascending to the edge of the woods
A path crosses the Overtoun Burn by means of the footbridge that is shown in NS4276 : Footbridge over the Overtoun Burn, and then takes a circuitous route here to avoid a more direct but overly steep ascent on the incline shown at the far left.

At the top of these steps is a gate, shown from the other side in NS4276 : Gate at the edge of the woods. That gate is at the edge of the woods; for the path leading from there, see NS4276 : Path near Overtoun House.
Overtoun House Nature Trail :: NS4175

Locally, the woodland walks within the Overtoun Estate are still collectively known as "the Nature Trail", in memory of the fact that they used to be laid out as a nature trail with numbered marker posts (the Nature Trail, made with funds left over from the Quality of Life Experiment, officially opened on the 26th of April 1980). New waymarkers were added, both here and in the adjacent Lang Craigs Woodland ( Link ), in May 2015. For more on the Nature Trail, see Overtoun House: Link
