Overview

This is a local walk which starts at Kirknewton Pavilion.  The walk goes through woodland and farmers fields before ascending Kaimes Hill.  After descending this hill we carry onto Dalmahoy Hill.  As we admire the views of the surrounding area we can have a snack and drink.  We will then descend down into woodland and farmers fields again back to the Pavilion.
