Overview

An 8 mile walk that follows an old drove road beside the Glenquey Reservoir and burn, before climbing up to the ridge from Commonedge Hill to Seamab Hill. The route offers some of the best views in the Ochils, from the Forth Valley to the south and Loch Leven and the Lomond Hills in the east.

It then follows an old drove road which drovers would use to take their livestock to market in Falkirk. The path is quite wet and muddy and can be uneven in places.
