Caddam Woods and Loch of Kinnordy

Kirriemuir
Starting Point: Layby beside Caddam Woods on the B955
Grade: Easy (Green)
Duration: 1.5 hrs
Distance: 8.9 km / 5.5 miles
Height: 40m

Description:

This is an easy (Green) mostly flat route which has the option of a smaller loop which is suitable for younger children and balance bikes. The smaller loop is 2km long and will take approx. 20 mins.

Starting at the layby at Caddam Woods, take the path sign posted Causewayend and proceed around the woods in an anti-clockwise direction (you have the option at this point of shortening the route by doing a circuit of Caddam Woods). At the last fork take the one that spears to the left passing a bench. You should exit the wood at a road where a Path Network sign can be seen.

Turn right continuing past the entrance to Kinnordy Farm and turn left at the next road junction. Continue along this road until you meet with the footpath signed for Kinnordy Loch. The track down to the loch is quite steep so younger or more inexperienced riders might want to walk this part.

At the bottom of the hill follow the trail left, watching out for the small rooty and boggy section close to the pond. This area can be quite boggy so in wet conditions we advise you to dismount and walk to avoid path erosion.

Continuing on, ignore the footbridge on your right and follow the path until it meets with the road. Turn left and follow the road back to the starting point and Caddam Woods.

Route Specific Information:
