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

A lovely walk along some of the quieter paths of the Pentlands, which takes us into the hills via Bavelaw Marsh and along the Red Road before turning off to a gradual ascent of Green Law and Spittal Hill. From here we can enjoy excellent long-distance views across Edinburgh, the Forth and as far as the Ochils on a clear day. The route then descends past North Esk Reservoir and the Bore Stane with a further gentle climb before the path leads us back down to the car park.
Mainly grassy paths, with a short section of tarmac and stone paths to start and one steep gravel descent to the reservoir. Some sections likely to be muddy after wet weather. Walking boots & poles recommended. Toilet facilities at Threipmuir car park may or may not be open.
It is essential to contact the walk leader, Alison Cameron, to book a place on this walk (WhatsApp preferred). If you require car sharing from Livingston please contact Natalie Corner on 07780 750003.
