Overview

This is a beauty of a walk, just under 9 miles, B grade, strenuous walk. Heading out from Largs, it takes in Gogo Glen and Noddsdale Glen. It is very peaceful and quiet with some stunning views over Largs (but from a different perspective), Cumbrae and Arran. The walk is accessible for rail users. 

Waterproof boots are a must and gaiters are highly recommended and poles are useful.  

We’ll have our first stop at Greeto Bridge and lunch beyond Noddsdale Burn.
