Overview

A pleasant walk from Troon to Dundonald and back.

The walk is leisurely, probably a C level walk or perhaps C+ as the distance is around 9 miles.

It’s a mostly flat walk.  The walk will involve some road walking getting from Troon to the farm track and woodland.  We will walk through lovely woodland to reach Dundonald Castle for lunch. We will return mostly on the outward route but will come back through Fullarton Woods.  There is lovely coffee at the Visitors Centre at the Castle.  Weather permitting we will have our picnic lunch up at the Castle enjoying lovely views. This walk gives us the chance to walk through two woodlands.

Caroline will lead this walk.  Please let her know if you would like to come and whether you will meet at Morrison's Stevenston or at the start of the Walk at the Cemetery, Troon.  caroline.mcinulty@hotmail.com or 07775 832838.
