Overview

A circular walk around Glensherup via the five tops of Ben Shee, Scad Hill, Tarmangie, Bentie Know and Innerdownie.

The terrain consists of hill paths and LRT and there are several steep ascents and descents.

The final descent is through the forest on an eroded peaty path, and be aware that, even after good weather, this section is still wet and mucky with slippery exposed tree roots.  Poles are advised.

The views are lovely round the whole circuit (Scottish weather gods permitting).
