Description:

A great 7-stage circular tough walk around beautiful Arran. Although this trail is sometimes described as being suitable for walkers of average fitness, you should be aware that this walk does include pathless sections calling for careful navigation and there may also be scree and minor scrambling. Some experience with maps and navigating is also a must! This is one of Scotland’s ‘Great Trails’. It is a circular route and starts and finishes at Brodick. The “ACW” offers a wonderful, sometimes very challenging experience and takes you around the coastal fringe of Arran’s mountainous north (Lochranza), south to Lagg (Kilmory) and ‘up’ again back to Brodick. Explore the seaside paths, forest trails, tidal beaches, rolling hills and the spectacular views across the Firth of Clyde to the east and the Kintyre peninsula in the west.
