Glenfarg Paths Network

The Glenfarg Path Network comprises of four circular walks starting and finishing at the village shop. The routes are suitable for all ages and abilities, and include sections of quiet back roads, pathways or Core Paths.

The shortest of the walks is the Duncrieve Circular (Green Route) which takes about an hour to walk or half an hour to cycle, and is mostly on minor roads or good paths through open countryside, with no steps or stiles, but some fairly steep gradients. The route goes through Wallace Park, Duncrieve Village, over Hilton Hill, and back to the village along the Glendy road, and offers views west over Glenfarg reservoir towards the Turret Hills, as well as elevated views of Glenfarg and views east to the Lomond hills.
