Overview

A pleasant walk passing near to Cortachy Castle then following minor roads and farm tracks to Craigies, Newmill of Inshewan and Horniehaugh, before passing through a small remote glen then entering forestry plantations and following the road before turning off to complete the circuit along the banks of the river.

Surfaces mostly good, rough in places and might be muddy if there has been recent rain.
