The south side of Brechin is bounded by the River South Esk, which once provided power for the town mills.
Initially following then riverside from Brechin Bridge, this circuit links a number of paths and minor roads around the slopes of Burghill, on the southern side of the river.
Much of the route leads through pleasant woodland, with pockets of arable and pasture land. Parts of the route provide panoramic views over Brechin, or eastwards towards Montrose and Montrose Basin.
