5.8 mile walk through Broomsbrigg Farm onto Beacon Hill Country Park taking in the current sculpture trail then back to the Curzon. This is quite a hilly walk both in Broomsbrigg farm and up to the top of the Beacon- but there are seats as we go along and we can take it easy up hills with short stops when needed. Fantastic views.  No stiles- most of the walk on very well surfaced tracks. Possible cows in Broomsbrigg and Highland cattle on top of the Beacon- all well used to walkers.  Toilets at our half way stop and again after 5 miles. Hope you can come along and join me on this walk. NB  Parking is quite limited at the Curzon- so try the surrounding roads too if you can- Thank you
