Connect Kilbirnie with Slow Ways
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 Kilbirnie to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Kilbirnie’s four Slow Ways are 44% checked
Help connect Kilbirnie
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 Kilbirnie’s Slow Ways.

I can't speak to the barbed wire area spoken about in the other review, though I'd say you could also take a right onto Stoneyholm Road from the main road (also Stoneyholm Road...) and get onto the cycle track slightly further back. There definitely aren't access issues at that point. It's a very well maintained cycle track, some nice views on the way over to Lochwinnoch and well sighted the whole way so no surprise cyclists (or pedestrians) round a blind corner....

I kept an eye out for possible ways back to the mapped route and eventually found one by turning left into Picton Estate. My route rejoined the mapped route at grid ref NS29585069, but reviewing a detailed map of the area later, I suspect I could have left the B780 a little earlier at grid ref NS29595128 and joined the mapped route at NS29785110. I suspect the alternative route which follows the B780 most of the way (Dalkil one) may be the only option available (unless someone with local knowledge can suggest a work-around)....

The point at which the route leaves the metalled road is on the left (north) side of the road immediately before the road crosses a disused railway....

It is all on tarmac, mostly alongside roads (some very busy) and therefore is noisy and functional rather than restful or interesting....
