Beecraigs & Cockleroy

Meeting at the Beecraigs Visitor Centre (there are several free car parks nearby - the biggest is Hillhouse car park which is very close to the visitor Centre), we will follow a circular walk around Beecraigs country park including climbing up Cockleroy to have a view across the Lothians.

We will be following the Walk Highlands route here: https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lothian/beecraigs-cockleroy.shtml

Bear in mind, there are two sections where dogs must be kept on leads (a loch which is a swan breeding ground and Cockleroy hill has sheep on it). We will also be at times crossing some country roads - ample notice will be given before reaching the road so that dogs can be put on a lead for crossing.

We will finish back at the visitor centre for optional refreshments and a chat.

Distance: Approx 7km
Ascent: Approx. 130m
Terrain: Mixture of well maintained woodland paths and grassy hills.

Hope to see you there :)
