Overview

Linear walk starting at the public carpark at Prestonkirk off Preston Road, East Linton.

This route is the East Linton to Belhaven Bay stretch of the John Muir Way.  We start at Prestonkirk carpark. We go past Preston Mill then follow the river Tyne which leads into the Tyne Estuary.  The route then goes through the John Muir Country park.  Mainly good paths, a few places that are uneven so walking poles may help.
