The walk starts in the local village hall car park. After passing the 12th Century local church it heads for the banks of the River Don. Opposite the church is a notice-board about its history and includes information about the Monymusk Reliquary. This is a wooden casket which is thought to contain the bones of St Columba.
The walk then follows a circular route through woods and along the banks of the Don, passing the historic Monymusk House. Soon after this, the walk returns close to the river and passes through mature woodland. Next comes a tarred road for only 150m, before reaching another piece of mixed woodland. This leads to a small picturesque lake before leading back to the centre of the picturesque village of Monymusk.
