Welcome to Symington Strolls – a series of 15 traditional caches in and around the area of this delightful South Ayrshire village. This is Number 3 in the series. The complete circuit is under 10 miles long. It loops back through the village and can therefore be done in 2 stages. All these caches can of course also be attempted individually.
During these walks you will encounter the usual caching challenges of terrain, navigation and retrieval. There’s nothing steep to climb but some sections of the series are on tracks which can get a little overgrown and these can also get quite muddy after heavy rain. Wildlife such as roe deer, hawks, squirrels, rabbits, etc may be seen. Where appropriate, additional information regarding safety, parking, etc and occasionally a little history is provided in our notes for each cache. Free parking is available throughout the village. All parking should be in accordance with any local signage, by-laws,etc.
Following the Land Reform (Scotland) Act (2003) which gave everyone access to most land and inland waters, Scottish local authorities have been setting out a basic network of routes (Core Paths) to give the public the confidence of clearly defined routes by which to enjoy more of our countryside. This walk follows a part of one of these proposed Core Paths, the route being that of an old carriage way leading from the village past Dankeith House and the Core Path will eventually finish in Dundonald. It has already benefited from limited Lottery Funding. It is currently in a varying state of repair with a few fallen trees to step over and some sections can get muddy in wet weather so it is not suitable for wheelchair users at this time. The path is mostly wooded with occasional clearings so GPS signals can vary. The latter part of the path is occasionally utilised by farm vehicles to access adjacent fields. Free on-street parking is available at Lomond View, Symington.
This is a traditional micro cache in a tree. A pencil is included within but cannot be guaranteed! Care should be taken as there is an unfenced culvert on both sides of the path near this cache. There is tree cover for most of this section so your GPS might struggle at times. Please take care to ensure the cache is put back exactly as found because the area is frequented by local children, young and old!
If continuing to Number 4 in this series, please be aware that the road past Dankeith House and onwards to the B730 is also utilised by the House and caravan owners.
