Overview

A varied 7 mile circular wall from Maidens to Culzean Castle and back. The first stretch is along a beach. Then there are steep steps going up into the country park. We then walk through the woods above the sea with lovely views. We will stop at the visitor centre near the castle to use the toilets. We will take a break for lunch there. We walk back through the park by another route through quiet woodland before regaining the beach by the same steps for the last stage. The paths may be muddy and boots are recommended.
We plan to have tea/coffee in Ropes Cafe at Maidens. 
Return to Clarkston about 5.00pm.
