Walk 2-4: SUW Day 2: Castle Kennedy to New Luce

The second day of the Southern Upland Way celebration begins at Castle Kennedy Gardens and proceeds through the woods of the Earl of Stair’s estate before heading onto the moors.

Passing the deserted farm of Clenrie the route climbs steadily to the edge of Glenwhan Forest where there are fine views towards Luce Bay and the Mull of Galloway.

The path then crosses the Water of Luce on a specially built foot bridge and follows the Southern Upland Way past many signs of earlier occupation, including the caves of Kilhern and several other ancient sites.

The route then drops down to the picturesque village of New Luce and if there is time a refreshing drink at the newly refurbished Kenmuir Arms.
