The route starts at Orchardton Tower - remarkable as the only cylindrical tower house in Scotland.

The walk goes in an anticlockwise circuit of the Almorness peninsula following a series of roads and paths through varied landscape with enchanting sea views evoking the smuggling history of the Solway. The highest point, Moyl, provides a panorama including Hestan Island and the Lakeland Fells while the woodlands and the fields are home to an abundance of wildlife.

The walk finishes at the quaint fishing village of Palnackie
