** SORRY THIS WALK IS FULLY BOOKED. PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO THE RESERVE LIST ** This is the more difficult of the afternoon walks which finish at New Luce where an evening meal will be enjoyed at the Kenmuir Arms
The route starts at Cruise Farm in the Luce Valley where the Southern Upland Way crosses the road. We follow is route eastwards to the ruins of Kilhern Farm and a short diversion takes us to the caves of Kilhern, an ancient burial cairn.
Leaving the caves, we drop down to another county road. Across the road we leave SUW via an old stone style and then cross a small metal bridge above the Loups of Barnshangan which are a picturesque series of rapids and waterfalls where the Cross Water of Luce tumbles through a shallow gorge. Climbing the opposite bank to reach Barnshangan Farm the group will then split. The moderate route follows a rough track up to the Corbie Craigs and a site of a disused lead mine and returns via fields and tracks to the Village.
The meal at the Kenmuir Arms will be charged separately and will consist of a fixed price simplified menu of three courses with a choice from a selection of three items per course, including a vegetarian option, for £25.
