Angus Biking Route – Arbroath, Arbirlot, Ethie Woods and the Coast

From the harbour car park head west along the coast and the West Links. At the playpark, follow the road and the Arbroath Path Network signs. Re-join the seawall path once you reach the underpass. Hug the seawall and continue SW along the NCN1 and cross the train track at the pedestrian crossing. Take the second right at the roundabout into Ethie car park and follow the road back into town. Keep an eye out for the Arbroath Path Network sign that directs to ‘Hospitalfield’ and follow its direction, keeping the Caravan Park on your left until you reach a 3-way track junction.

Take the uphill track that goes behind the Arbroath Path Network signposted track, eventually going through a gate and onto a grassy track. Continue through Peasiehill Farm and at the road junction take a right onto the B9127.

Follow the B9127 until reaching the 30mph signs and take a left to ‘Crudie Farm’. Follow this until you see more Path Network signs that will direct you right onto a grassy track until you reach Millfield Feus. Take a right at the road and then the first left until you reach the A933. Follow the shared pavement SW on the A933, again looking out for footpath signs just after the industrial estate that will take you across the road and through a chevron on the left into woodland.

At St Vigeans, go through the village past the church until you see a sign for Waulkmills Nature Trail directing you left. Follow the path over a bridge to the right and continue along this path NW until you reach Station Road. Take a right and follow until you reach the 3-way junction and take a right following the road back to St Vigeans.

Take a right under the rail bridge and then a left following the path network signs for ‘St Vigeans Den’. Go left under another railway bridge and follow the path uphill continuing until you reach Wardmill Road. Take a left and follow the road and onto the roundabout. Take the third exit and follow the road back to the harbour.
