Starting near Thurso town centre, this path follows the gentle flow of the river, weaving past bridges, old stone walls, and spots where the water sparkles in the sunlight. In the early morning or just before sunset, the light catches the surface and birds flit between the reeds, making this a beautiful walk, accessible to most. It’s peaceful, easy-going, and perfect for a leg-stretch or a lunchtime wander.
