Like its neighbour Redburn Dene, Chirton Dene, which was created out of the former dock area in 1998, follows the natural watercourse. The dene has water as its central theme, and the aptly titled 'Water Landscape' first appears as a mountain stream (seen here just beyond the footpath), followed by reed beds, a central pool, a cadence and a boggy area, before culminating in a series of cascades which tumble down to the Albert Edward Dock. This desire path down a grass-covered slope dotted with wild flowers makes for a direct descent to the bridge across the Chirton Burn.
