Overview

This is walk of approximately 5 miles from the outskirts of Maybole .  We walk along quiet country roads then pasture with sheep grazing to the monument on Kildoon Hill. This is  a gentle climb to 195 meters.  After a break where hopefully we will enjoy good views of the surrounding countryside we descend through fields with 3  stiles to cross to another quiet road which will bring us back to the start point.
