Overview

This walk takes us through the woodlands of Archerfield and Dirleton, going down to the coast and along to the Eel burn, keeping an eye out for seabirds and the start of spring flowers.

On a good day there is great viewing along the Firth of Forth. We will use part of the John Muir Way as well as good farmtracks and woodland paths. A short section of rocks on the beach and a wee climb up to the cliff top but otherwise a very straightforward walk.
