Best walk to Montrose
Angus · Scotland | Walks by train
MapA beautiful walk ending at Montrose Station.
Arbroath Station to Montrose Station
breath-taking views along the cliffs. A dramatic clifftop coastal walk on worn-grass and farm tracks (which can be muddy), with sandy beach, pebble-beach and some road sections. Spectacular cliff scenery throughout and with steps and erosion in places. Crosses the Montrose Basin (a notable wildlife site) on the approach to Montrose; nice artworks line the path into town. Optional diversions take in Lunan Bay, Red Castle and Scurdie Ness.
Tough: 31km, steep ascents.
The route runs close to cliff edges where there is some erosion; watch your footing and follow any diversion signs. Some farm-track sections can be muddy.
Lunch stop: the But 'n' Ben.
