Overview

Starting at The Champion Shell pub, Stevenston, this walk will go to Kerelaw Castle, past the old water works and towards Lochcraigs Solar Farm.  We pass Ashgrove Loch , nip across Ardeer Golf Course and through fields of long grass to Diddup Farm.  Then it is back to Stevenston via on rough tracks, tarmac. and a bit of mud.

There are three things to climb: a gate, a fence and a rickety barrier made of old wood and Heras fencing.  Note too, the long grass: there's about 700 meters of this and gaiters will be useful if it has been wet.
