Campsie Glen and Fells Walks

6.84 miles (11 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This circular walk explores the popular Clachan of Campsie in Campsie Glen before climbing to Cort Ma Law fell.
The walk starts from the car park at the Clachan of Campsie car park next to the old St Machan's Church. From here you can follow a delightful footpath heading north in the Campsie Glen with its pretty burn and little waterfalls.
The route then retraces its steps before turning north east to follow another trail to the larger waterfalls on the Kirk Burn. It's a delightful spot with the rushing falls situated in a lush gorge with photogenic woodland and other interesting flora. There's another car park here if you'd prefer to start your walk from here.
The route then picks up the circular Cort Ma Law path which will take you east to the 531 metre high Cort Ma Law summit. Here you can enjoy some splendid views over the other fells.
The route continues north west to climb to Lecket Hill before descending west to Alnwick Bridge and Jamie Wright's Well. There's some nice views to enjoy of the pretty Alnwick Burn here before a short stroll back to the car parks.
