Thursday walk Hermitage of Braids (Circular Route)

My work shifts might change.
A wee afternoon stroll around the Hermitage of Braid.
So join us on a walk which has it all, gorgeous old trees, clear running river, and a hill that will invigorate you and give you fabulous views.

• We'll commence at the Blackford Glen Road entrance into the Hermitage.
• After a short stroll amongst the beautiful greenery, we continue walking along the waterside until we reach Braid Road.
• After a brief comfort break, we'll climb a short ascent up onto Braid Golf Course. (We walk beside the golf course).
• We follow the grassy path & then we have a short descent, before reaching a small wooden bridge which crosses the stream.
  This is not a flat walk, can be muddy when wet, so please wear walking boots. Distance is approx 3 miles, time approx 1 and a half hours to complete depending on the pace of the group.
