Thurso River Walk
This walk is lovely and is suitable for wheelchairs too! The walk takes you up the river across the cemetery bridge and back down to the top footbridge.

Pontus Fractus
'The Broken Bridge'. All that remains of the footbridge that once straddled the river Thurso at this point, are ramps at either side and a bit of rubble in between. The bridge was washed away by floodwater.

The walls of Mount Vernon Cemetery, Thurso
Behind the walls is a terraced slope awaiting burials. Before the walls is a path of the Mall Walk Project heading to The Salmon Pool on the River Thurso. So close to the centre of Thurso yet a world apart. Less than 30 minutes walk from Thurso Train Station, yet unseen by most Geographers who focus on the "most northerly station" in the UK.

The Mall Walk, Thurso
Pathways and bridges were constructed during the lifetime of the Mall Walk Project led by Thurso Rotary Club, so that there are all-weather paths out of Thurso on the banks of the River Thurso. This brings the countryside right into the centre of Thurso and its park.
