Tarfside to Invermark Path
Easy;Under 12km;Nature/Country route

From the Tarfside car park, turn left and follow the main road to the bridge over the Water of Tarf.  The main road turns left in a southerly direction, but you should continue you straight on up the minor road.  This in turn, turns off to the right and the tarmac gives way to an un-surfaced track, but it allows easy walking round the north side of Hill of Rowan.  At Lochside Cottage, the track divides and you should take the right hand or northerly branch.

A little further on the track divides again, but either branch will take you past Westbank Farm although the right hand one keeps you clear of any farm traffic.

The track continues until it meets the public road to Invermark.  If you have more than one means of transport available, then it may be possible to leave a vehicle in Invermark car park to facilitate your return to Tarfside otherwise you cn return along the public road.  While the road is only lightly trafficked, it is narrow, so care should be exercised especially on the twisty sections.

The glen teems with wild life so it is worth keeping an eye open for birds such as kestrels or buzzards and even red deer, which can be seen even from the road.
