The route covers around 7 miles on good forest tracks, making it ideal for walkers, cyclists, families, and anyone wanting to spend time in the great outdoors.

Along the way, take a short detour to visit the Thirl Stane, an ancient boundary site marked by a modern cairn built in 2015 using some of the original engraved stones.

The trail also passes through the remarkable landscape of the former Wilsontown Ironworks, once one of Scotland's most important iron-producing communities. Excellent interpretation points along the route help bring this industrial heritage to life.
