We are the Kilmarnock & Loudoun Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
From the Carpark we take the coastal path and then left where we head to Ardgowan. Continuing through the estate we head to Kip Marina and cross the footbridge. We take the Daff Glen path and a road section up past the waterworks before heading into Leapmoor Forest. This section lasts 3 miles up past Laxlie Hill and Hill Wood before we exit the forest at Blaeberry Hill. There is a short walk past the rear of a housing estate where we head to Inverkip. Heading back over the footbridge we enter the Kip Marina and head to the coastal path back to the cars.
The route is on a mix of good tracks, short road sections and forest tracks.
Risk Assessment: it may be a bit slippery on the Daff Glen path but apart from that it should all be fine.
Car mileage: 80 miles overall (28.00 per car)
Please contact Denis (07783563245) if you are planning on going direct to the start of the walk.
