Overview

Circular walk around Penicuik on good paths, through woodlands, beside burns and in open countryside through the grounds of Penicuik Estate.

Starting at Tesco in Penicuik we follow a path along Cuiken Glen, climbing a little to reach an open area with lovely Pentland views.  A path downhill through woods reaches the Penicuik Estate passing Penicuik House & following the river. Once out of the estate we follow a cycle track and woods to return to the start.

Paths could be muddy in places. so bring boots, gaiters and walking poles if used
