Overview

 A linear walk.

Starting from Fairlie train station we climb up through Fairlie Glen before descending through Kelburn Estate and onwards towards Largs.

There are steep drops going down the Glen so care is needed.
Walk is on woodland paths and tarmac.

 There is a steep section in first half of the walk and 10 steps over a wall with handrail in same section. There are beautiful views of the Firth of Clyde. 
It can be muddy in places so boots and walking poles are recommended.
