CRICKET PARK WALK

FOLLY LOCH WALK

0.9 mile / 1.5km

4 miles / 6km

A route through mature woodland popular with walkers, joggers and cyclists.

The field once included a small cricket pitch and the wooden hut by the path was the cricket pavilion.

Cricket was played here until the 2nd World War, when the pitch was ploughed in order to grow crops.

The path passes a large pond on the Marble Burn from where, in the late 1800s, a lade ran across the adjacent field to a water wheel in what is now the visitor centre. The wheel provided power for a saw mill.
