Route Filmstrip & Description
This is a 3Km trail with views of the Ochils and Devon Valley. Most of the trail is level but there are two particular slopes with gradients of 12% (1:8) and 10% (1:10) both for over 40m. The path surface is mainly of crushed stone but with some fine loose stones covering the whole surface which make it a little slippery in places.There is enough room for two people to walk side by side over most of the trail but there are only a couple of seats along the way.
