Set in the Galloway Forrest Park, Cornish Hill feels like discovering a little gem, it is a truly cracking walk and can be completed in less than 90 minutes. Offering superb views, go on a clear day for the full effect. Only a short distance from Straiton where there is also another great walk, the start point is a little more than 30 minutes from Ayr.
This is a simple-to-navigate trail with good well-defined places, if a little rocky in places, it is well-maintained and easy to follow.

Car Park to Open ground via Forrest Trail
Exit the car park and cross the road to find a path, you will see a Cornish Hill Trail signpost, continue towards the footbridge and after crossing stick with the path heading into the Forrest and ignore the path to the right.
Following the woodland path, you’ll cross another footbridge and you will eventually come out into open land.

The path is quite clear and looking up towards the horizon you will see the first glimpse of your short accent up Cornish Hill.
