Beautiful long walk starting at Giant's Ring carpark, then walk straight past stone monument (ancient tomb) until you find a green gate, pass through and follow the path. Then you will come to Minnowburn river, turn right, then continue straight, take the steps on your right to the carpark, cross the carpark over to the other side of the bridge and keep the river on your left side, walk up to the gardens with a beautiful view, then where the big wooden pole is, turn left downhill and keep following the path for a good while before you will come back to Gaint's Ring carpark.
