This very pleasant circular walk has a good mixture of interesting features, and all of the footpaths are used frequently and very easy to follow. There are a few stiles which have seen better days but are easy to climb over, and there are no gates or any steep slopes. Some of the meadows show signs of cattle so take a walking stick in case you need to fend one off. The wood at the start and finish is public and used for a variety of organised outdoor events, some of them very muddy. There is also a long tree-top supervised adventure trail. Google 'Craufurdland Outdoor Activities' for details.

This walk is suitable for children, senior citizens and anyone in-between. Excellent for dogs, but hopeless for wheelchairs and very difficult for buggies. Suitable footwear will be anything stout and flat soled, but boots will be best and there should be no problems for anyone wearing shorts. The restaurant by the fishing loch at the start and finish is of top quality and not cheap, but they sell coffee and cake to hikers and others using the outdoor facilities daily from a hatch between 10.00 am and 5.00 pm. There are no other facilities on the route, but if you book in advance, you should be able to get a five-star restaurant meal with a drink; an excellent finish to a good walk.
