A leisurely walk on good tracks and paths, fairly level with a couple of steady inclines. May be muddy in some areas depending on the weather, poles may be helpful.  Some minor roads to cross with care.  Option for refreshments from the Beecraigs visitor centre, and to visit The Scottish Korean War Memorial at the end of the walk.
