Walk at Hirsel

This is the longest of the marked path ways and links in with some of the other walks. The length is about 13/4 miles. Starting from the car park, pass through the tearoom yard, down towards the golf course and the river Leet. Pass over the river bridge and turn left, in a northerly direction, through the elevated wood land, dropping down to the flat toward the old east drive into the Estate. Pass over the Dunglass Bridge, replaced in…. after a major flood.

The route then goes in a southerly direction down the old drive through heavy woodland. As it opens out from the wood, the red sandstone Stable Block appears on your right hand side. A little further along the Cow Arch, where cattle were at one time brought underneath the drive to the Hirsel House, on their way to the dairy. Shortly after this point the route meets the tarmacdam drive and extends down below the ha-ha wall to the Hirsel House, past the Lake back to the car park.
