A circular walk from Bannockburn Visitor Centre. Our route follows a woodland path and a section of tarmac road before a steady ascent (some steep sections) through woodland and heath up to North Third Reservoir. We'll walk around the western side of the reservoir and stop for lunch. After lunch, we'll ascend above the reservoir for a grand view from Lewis Hill (266m), before descending through woodland and along tracks back to the road, to return to the visitor centre.
The walk is on a mix of tracks and footpaths on generally moderate slopes with a number of steeper sections on the ascent up to the reservoir and then on the climb up Lewis Hill. Terrain is variable with a couple of minor road sections where care needs to exercised.
Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential and poles, if you use them, recommended.
