This important reserve contains tidal sand and mudflats, salt and freshwater marshes and sand dunes. On the foreshore, accreting mud and silt flats and saltmarsh in the north give way to a narrower sandy beach at the southern end. The sand dunes are also much wider in the north and there is an extensive freshwater marsh between two dune ridges, which converge into a narrower ridge south of Churchill Lane at Theddlethorpe. The much older landward dunes developed on a storm beach and are thought to have formed in the 7th to 8th centuries. The second ridge on the northern half of the reserve, enclosing the freshwater marsh, developed in the mid-1800s following the diversion of the Great Eau. New dunes are now forming along the southern half of the reserve.

Caolasnacon Caravan & Camping Park is nestled in an idyllic setting just outside Kinlochleven and a few miles from magnificent Glencoe, on the south shore of Loch Leven in the beautiful Scottish Highlands.

A wonderful place to recover after a long walk up Ben Nevis and back :)

Not far from Loch Lomond Waterfront, just south of Drymen and north of Craighat is Finnich Glen. This is a steep gorge that cuts through sandstone, revealing a river below. Walking down to the bottom can be a rather tricky activity, so beware. The way down to the bottom has been called the Devil’s Steps or Jacob’s Ladder, but either way it’s a warning that they can be slippery, so this is a walk for good shoes and dry days only. 

This rock is said to be where the devil would stand and address his followers as the red waters swirled under his feet. Other say that Druids would come here to preach and make merry, perhaps guided by the evil forces of nature. Who knows for sure? But one thing that is certain is that for all its strangeness, this is a true beauty spot.
