Ascent
 

Starting on the shores of Loch Ryan the walk climbs across the old military railway and over the hill by tracks and fields to Lochinch Estate. It then follows the estate roads over the bridge across the Black Loch and then along the loch shore towards Sheuchan. It then ascends a rough track to the main drive, crosses the canal and wanders up to the tea rooms near the ruins of the old castle. A variety of flowers such as wild garlic and bluebells are usually in bloom at this time of year along with the beautiful rhododendrons and azaleas for which the gardens are famous.
