If walking, head out towards Auchinleck from Cumnock on B7083 to just past Auchinleck Tesco on the right , turn left onto Barony Road at the intersection with Boswell Arms ( on right) and walk along a short distance of road with no footpath to an industrial estate on the left to pick up a footpath along Barony Road. The footpath continues past an entrance to Dumfries House Estate on the left, Barony A Frame on the left and Eggar wood processing plant on the right, where the footpath ends. Continue on until Barony Road make a sharp left turn, proceed straight on to single track entrance to Auchinleck House Estate. Heading from Cumnock toward Mauchline following the paved single track into Auchinleck Estate at the Barony Road, the road curves around until it enters a T junction with the Boswell Cafe. An alternate path would be to proceed through the Cafe yard and bear right winding below Auchinleck House , continuing on over a small bridge , bearing right through a metal gate then merge with the road that runs in front of the House, proceeding left. There is the possibility of walking along a path that leads through Dumfries House Estate to Cumnock past the Barony A Frame and a coal mining bing but we haven't walked it recently....
