Explore the natural beauty of Cumbrae island on a leisurely 7-mile walk on a quiet level road and pavements, observing wildflowers and birds along the west side of the island. Enjoy the option to shorten the walk by 1 mile and there will be the opportunity to visit cafes in Millport at the end of the walk.
