Overview

This is a circular walk starting from the layby outside the Korean War Memorial car park (closed in the evenings). We will visit the Korean War Memorial before ascending to reach a medieval Refuge Stone & the more recent Witchcraig Wall from which there are great far-reaching views. The walk then continues through the southern woodland edge of Beecraigs Country Park & upon leaving the woodland ascends up Cockleroy Hill. Again, there are magnificent views from the summit which we will enjoy before descending the hill & returning through woodland & along tracks to return to the start point.

Spaces are limited to 20 people so it is essential that you book a place with the leader prior to the day of the walk.
