We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Cumnock to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Cumnock’s Slow Ways.

I walked this route with another person on a cool and blustery day in early June 2024. The route begins in the centre of Mauchline and follows Station Road and Haugh Road until it joins the River Ayr Way at Haughyett. Leaving Catrine, the route departs from the River Ayr Way, heading southeast on the B705. After quite a long, uphill section, the route leaves the B705 just before Auchinleck and enters the village via reclaimed industrial land (now informal parkland) and housing estates....

Possibly this route's River Ayr Way start, combined with the original route for the rest would be the optimum route although it wouldn't go through any settlements on the way. Having said that, I’m struggling to find a route which doesn’t involve a relatively busy pavementless road section!...

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....
