Overview

This a short walk around one  (or two) of Dunlop’s woodland trails with lovely views.

We will start at the train station carpark & head down the towards Dunlop Kirk ( narrow street & little pavements). We veer off to the left at the church up a slight hill ( still on roads) and enter into the Millennium Woods. We follow the paths through and round the woods until we come to a gate and track. We turn left up the track & we will see Minnie’s house remains on the right. Further along the track on left we go into another section of wooded area and follow it round to another road track  and re enter the village. We can walk up to the train station & either go straight to Struthers Farm for tea & cake or we can walk through another series of wooded areas including the recently   refurbished Wee Glen.
