Based on a favourite ot the Dukes and Duchesses of Hamilton. Starting at the Castle front door and following the red banded waymarker post this walk takes you to some of the quieter parts of the Country Park and part of the way up Goatfell. On a good day superb views of Brodick Bay can be seen. The walk returns via Castle Drive. Approx 2 hours.
Sensible footwear is recommended for all walks.
Enjoy These are just a few of the wonderful walks to explore on Arran. Here at Rhiconich you are in one of the wilderness areas of the Highlands and your walks can be tailored to individual needs. Coastal, Hills and Moors, or Mountain walks can all be made as long or short as you please. A couple of popular examples are the walk from Balcrick to Sandwood Bay and back, a beautiful unspoilt stretch of beach 1.5 miles long - about 7.5 miles return. Then there is the trek into the Glendhu Forest starting and finishing at Kylestrome giving a taste of a uniquely ancient landscape - about 7.5 miles return.
