Alva

united kingdom

Alva nestles beneath the Ochil Hills in Clackmannanshire, perfectly placed on the A91 between Stirling and the Firth of Forth. This former mining town connects easily to Glasgow via the M80 (45km) and Edinburgh through the M9 to Stirling (50km), whilst serving the string of Hillfoots villages along this scenic route. The dramatic Alva Glen begins right from the town centre, offering waterfalls and hill walks that start mere steps from the main street.
