Overview

Circular walk using the Diamond Jubilee path to the Leaderfoot Viaduct returning on the Leader Water path.
The outward route is very undulating with several sets of steps to negotiate. There is a mixture of surfaces so care needed. Some narrow paths with steep edges. The return route is not as strenuous .
