Cairnharrow & Ben John
(route)
Maps OS Explorer 312 Landranger 83
This is a delightful route taking in 3 tops and affording lovely views of the Cree Estuary, the Machars, Isle of Man and the Cumbrian Fells. This area is filled with the remains of the Neolithic Period and one or two sites will be visited during the walk. The route itself starts from the Skyreburn glen at Whiteside GR555562 and after climbing a gate a track goes through a plantation for 700 metres. The route follows a NW then a northerly direction for 650 metres quickly gaining height to the ridge that goes westerly for 1.4K to the highest point of the walk Cairnharrow GR533561. This an ideal spot for a break and take in the views.
Going south then east for 2K the tops of Barholm Hill and Ben John are crossed before picking up a track that leads to Laggan farm, with an easy 3K walk easterly past High Auchenlarie to Kirkdale GR517531. The standing stones of Cairnholy are in the proximity of the finish and are worth a visit.
Actual walking distance= 11km

Grosmont Graig Hill Ramble
(route)
A varied route beginning and ending in the medieval village of Grosmont. It involves an initial steep climb along a farm track; becomes a forest walk before entering the top of a field where the 180* vista is stunning! Return via a single track road to the village. Can be walked in reverse (other way - not backwards stupid!) though no easier. Recommended that you start and finish at the Angel Inn!
Great at any time of year, although particularly good in May when the bluebells are out!
Main Directions
Walk downhill from the Angel Inn towards the church (St Nicholas- impressive for such a small village). Turn right alongside the churchyard and down the gully/green lane, over the footbridge, bear right and climb the tarmac road to Hill Farm. The road becomes a track and can become EXTREMELY MUDDY at certain times of year.
Climb the track to the very top, cross a stile onto a tarmac lane, keep forward. After about 100 metres turn right onto a forest track. Follow the waymarked "3 Castles" route markers for about a mile and a half. Keep a lookout for a marker pointing to a path on the right which descends through the wood to emerge at the top of a field. Excellent views of the Black Mountains. The Severn Estuary can also be seen, as can Pen y Fan on a clear day.
Descend the hill to the road, turn right and return to Grosmont, still enjoying the views on your left.
