** SORRY - THIS WALK IS FULLY BOOKED** This route explores Loch Stroan, and then the mature conifer forests overlooking Loch Ken, but with some lovely views along the way before finishing in the attractive village of New Galloway.
Starting at Mossdale, we follow the old railway line for a short distance before joining forest trails to take us to the stunning and remote Loch Stroan. From here we head north, following forestry roads. A short deviation takes up to a lovely view point.
As we cross 'Kirsten's Bridge' over the Knocknairling Burn, and a path opened a few years ago with support from Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership, we enter mixed woodland. A steep uphill section rewards us with a viewpoint which offers a spectacular view down the length of Loch Ken. It is then a short distance to the road and into New Galloway.
