Waterfall in Glen Rosa from Brodick via Goatfell Trail — Isle of Arran

7.90km

02:05

70m

Embark on a moderate hike to a beautiful waterfall in Glen Rosa, starting from Brodick on the Isle of Arran. This trail covers 4.9 miles (7.9 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 222 feet (68 metres), taking approximately 2 hours and 4 minutes to complete. You will follow well-defined tracks through woodlands and heather moorland, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of Glen Rosa with its dramatic mountain backdrops and the cascading Glenrosa Water.

Access the trail from the Brodick area, often near the Arran Brewery or Brodick Castle, making it convenient to start your adventure. The route features beaten earth tracks, aggregate footpaths, and some surfaced roads, though you should be prepared for potentially boggy sections, especially within the glen. This trail is suitable for those looking for a rewarding walk without the extreme challenges of a full mountain ascent.

Glen Rosa is renowned for its natural beauty, offering serene views of the A'Chir ridge and Cir Mhor as you progress. The highlight is a photogenic waterfall and the popular "Blue Pool," known for wild swimming opportunities in its clear waters. This trail provides a peaceful contrast to the more rugged mountain paths found elsewhere on Arran, showcasing the island's diverse landscapes.
