The trail through woodland out of Gifford towards Yaster Castle ruins is wonderful. Large mature trees line the track and the Gifford Water sparkles not far away. The path can get muddy in wet weather but it's always nice to walk along here.

Hiking

Make sure to wear sturdy waterproof boots if it’s raining or been raining as the 2nd half of the walk through the woods can get very muddy.

Hiking

Gifford has two pubs (one of which has a beer garden) so a good end point for a walk (if you're not driving of course).
