The road continues on to reach a waymarked sign where a track bears left towards the small rise of Craigangal. Continue down this track until it turns right. Walk along the flat farm track with Craigangal now to the left and views of Carlock Hill, Milgarva and Green Benan to the right. Just after a bend in the track, go through a wooden gate which in turn gives way to another wooden gate.

The track then descends past an old ruined cottage and at this point becomes boggier and rougher. Walk down the track towards the coast through lovely Currarie Glen with the attractive waters of the Shallochwreck Burn tumbling to the right of the track. Kintyre is directly ahead as the track continues to descend steeply to the beautiful cove of Currarie Port: a real hidden gem that is unreachable except on foot or by boat. This wild, rocky and windswept cove is a great example of the fantastic scenery on offer all along the Ayrshire coastline.

Toadstools in Currarie Glen

Once Currarie Port is reached, cross the beach to pick up a path that keeps to the right of the burn and then go through a gate. A stony and eroded path then climbs steeply, with a sharp drop to the right affording great views across Currarie Glen. The mixed woodland of the glen looks stunning during the autumn months.
