September 3, 2020

On a clear day the views from this route are simply outstanding: the islands of Cumbrae & Arran and the pink sandy beaches at Fairlie and Hunterston. A variety of woodland paths, tracks and grassy hillsides lead you gently uphill past the remains of Fairlie Castle and along the base of Black Hill. The return section follows the Fairlie Moor Road and then the Ayrshire Coastal Path. There is the opportunity to visit some fantastic hidden waterfalls along the route if you don’t mind some slightly rougher terrain for a few minutes! … More Walk 191 – Fairlie Glens and Waterfalls Circular – 4.3 miles

Walk 186 – Plodda Falls, near Tomich, Scottish Highlands – 0.8 miles

December 28, 2018

Simply jaw-dropping! Experience how a bambling burn – Allt na Bodachan – is peacefully flowing through the forest one minute and then without warning is suddenly hurtled 46m vertically down a rock face. Possibly the most impressive falls I have ever seen! … More Walk 186 – Plodda Falls, near Tomich, Scottish Highlands – 0.8 miles

Walk 185 – Cornish Hill & its Loch – 3.4 miles

A brilliant and fairly easy circular walk from the Stinchar Bridge to the top of Cornish Hill, returning via the secluded and peaceful Cornish Loch. A good path the whole way, boggy in places.

Walk 182 – Rogie Falls, Scottish Highlands – 0.9 miles

November 16, 2018

The colour of the trees…… the quirky uneven footpath meandering through the forest….. the sound of the falls long before being able to see them…. the purpose-built suspension bridge affording uninterrupted views of the gushing torrent that is Rogie Falls….. There was much to love about this walk!  … More Walk 182 – Rogie Falls, Scottish Highlands – 0.9 miles

Walk 181 – Corrieshalloch Gorge, Scottish Highlands – 1.25 miles

November 15, 2018

This short walk leads to THE most spectacular narrow gorge I have ever seen! Doing the route in a clockwise direction as described below leaves the pièce de résistance for the end: a Victorian suspension bridge allowing you to cross directly above the incredible Falls of  Measach which plunge 46m into the gorge below.   It’s no wonder this area is a NTS National Nature Reserve.  … More Walk 181 – Corrieshalloch Gorge, Scottish Highlands – 1.25 miles

Walk 162 – Ness Glen, Loch Doon – 1.8 miles

January 4, 2018

An astonishingly beautiful short walk through a deep wooded glen following the River Doon as it begins it’s journey between Loch Doon and the Firth of Clyde at Doonfoot, Ayr. Expect waterfalls a-plenty! Form a loop by returning to the start via the hill path. The footpaths are uneven and narrow in places and you can expect boggy conditions on the hill path.

One of my all-time favourite walks! First of all it’s a hill. Add to that the route being a loop and the return leg being down a stunningly beautiful glen complete with waterfall you actually walk behind… and you have nothing short of perfection! This is before we even talk about the quaint village of Falkland or the deep dark tunnel option. Read on to find out more! … More Walk 150 – East Lomond & Maspie Den – 4.5 miles
