Description

This route is labelled 'easy' because it is level, with no 'rough walking' and no stiles. It is almost entirely along good woodland paths and tracks or minor roads, with an optional venture onto the beach at Sandgreen.

From the attractive little town of Gatehouse of Fleet, the walk passes through woods and then parkland to Cally Palace Hotel. Passing under the A75, the route proceeds along a tree-lined track with fine views across Fleet Bay, to the tiny resort settlement of Sandgreen. Passing along the beach, the minor road is taken to Girthon and beyond. A footpath leads into the woods and the walk reaches Cally Gardens. Return is made along other paths through Cally Woods.
