This route explores the remote moors north of New Luce.

The route starts near the Penwhirn Reservoir, which supplies water to most of the Machars and takes off across the moors to the south. It briefly rejoins the county road before crossing the Main Water of Luce on an interesting bridge. It then climbs up over moorland close to derelict farmhouses before crossing the railway to the Cross Water of Luce. The walk then passes old lead mine workings before wandering through fields and woodlands to the attractive Village of New Luce and a warm welcome at the Kenmuir Arms.
