** SORRY - THIS WALK IS FULLY BOOOKED ** This delightful walk provides a mixture of open hill and woodland with a variety of interesting features on the way, as well as panoramic views across Wigtown Bay, the valley of the River Cree and into the Galloway Hills.
The start is near The Lairds Inn entrance on the southern outskirts of Creetown and goes uphill towards Larg farm before taking a track to the disused Fell Quarries. This is the track that the workers used to walk up every day from Creetown. It is followed to the bottom of Larg Hill and a short climb reaches the top where the panoramic views of the Cree Estuary and surrounding hills are superb.
A further kilometre leads to the high point of the route Knockeans Hill (297 metres) before descending to the Corse of Slakes Road near the Glenquicken Stone Circle.
We then cut across through woods and fields to another road and thence across fields to the Moneypool Burn. We follow the burn down to Creetown and to the Gem Rock Museum.
