We are the Cunninghame Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This walk will start from Lynn Glen car park. Leaving the carpark, a short stretch on pavements takes us down to the A737, where we carefully cross and pick up an upgraded path. This path follows the stream until we reach a bridge and a quiet road up to Dalry Station. Gently rising up through Stoopshill, the West gatehouse of the Blair Estate is soon reached. In a clockwise direction the route now meanders through the estate. Through tree lined avenues and attractive wee bridges over the Bombo Burn, the walk is idyllic. When we did the recce, carpets of snowdrops adorned every space. Continuing round the rambler's path past Blair House the circular walk takes us past the old remnants of the walled garden and back to the west gatehouse. Retracing our steps back to carpark, we will continue on to do the lovely, 2.5 miles circuit of the Lynn Glen. This is an opportunity for anyone not confident of walking the total 7.5 miles to stop at this point having completed the 5 miles Blair Estate loop. For the most part, the walking is on good paths but care is needed on the Lynn Glen wooden steps.
This is an easy walk, grade C but moderate C+ if Lynn Glen included.
The walk comprises two loops: Blair Estate (5 miles) and Lynn Glen (2.5 miles). Walkers may complete both loops or the Blair Estate loop only. Both loops begin and end at the Lynn Glen Car Park (signposted at traffic lights on B714 off Kilwinning Road, Dalry).
