    Route Description for Greenhaugh and Thorneyburn Walk

    If you are after a quick jaunt through the countryside that features lovely wildlife views and is suitable for the entire family, then the Greenhaugh and Thorneyburn Walk is the perfect route for you. Keep your eyes peeled, as you just might be able to spot heron, red squirrels, and grey wagtails along the trail.

    Setting out from the trailhead next to the Holly Bush Inn, you will make your way north along the road in order to leave the village behind and get out into the countryside. Here, you will cross over Tarset Burn and make a sharp left along the road to head southwest, eventually passing by a small stretch of woodland terrain.

    Shortly after passing by the wood, you will turn left to get off the road, traversing the open countryside to the southeast while enjoying some nice views of the surrounding landscape. After arriving at the edge of a road near Tarset Burn, you will make your way northeast on the return leg back into the village.
