We are the Biggar Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Having tackled Culter Fell last year from the Glenholm side, this time it is from the Coulter side. The walk starts at Culter Allers Farm. After following a farm track, the ascent starts by following a path over moorland, passing by The Bracs and Tippet Knowe, eventually arriving at the trig point at the top of Culter Fell. This is along but steady ascent, which has a short steep section just before the summit. The descent starts with a gentle slope to the old grouse shooting butts, followed by a steep section back down to the road.
Although challenging, this is a great walk with some wonderful views from the summit.
Good walking boots are essential for this walk, and poles are strongly advised, especially for the steep descent where care will have to be taken

Take the lane that leaves the A702 at the steep bend in Coulter. Follow this past the primary school, bear right at the junction just after the lane crosses the stream and continue until Culter Allers Farm is reached. Parking is just beyond the farm on the right hand side just before the lane divides for the two reservoirs.
