We are the Biggar Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A challenging but rewarding walk with fantastic views. The walk starts at Glenkirk, at the end of the Glenholm road. After a short walk further up the valley to Holms Waterhead, there is a fairly steep climb upto Leishfoot Hill and on upwards to Culter Fell, from where wonderful views open up in all directions. It is then realtively easy going on to Chapelgill Hill via King Bank Head before heading back down to Glenkirk.
This is a joint walk with Tweeddale Ramblers
The ascent to Culter Fell is fairly steep but steady.
There are a couple of fences to climb over.
The final descent is short but steep, and poles are advised here.
Biggar High Street
The start of the walk is at the end of the small lane signposted Glenholm that branches off the A701 just south of the B712 junction. Park on the grass by the sign shown in the 2nd photograph.
