Angus Coastal Path - Broughty Ferry to Carnoustie
3 people attending
7 places left
Linear walk along the Angus Coast between Broughty Ferry and Carnoustie
Our walk starts at the waterfront in Broughty Ferry and soon after we pass the imposing Broughty Castle where we have the option of making a short visit to the castle if there is interest. After the castle we can either walk along the beach (depending on tidal and weather conditions) or take the footpath and head along the coastal path towards Monifieth.
At Monifieth we need to head slightly inland to avoid the Barry Buddon military firing range and follow the cycle path towards Carnoustie. Just before Carnoustie we head back towards the coast and follow the coastal path along the dunes into Carnoustie where our walk ends at the Railway Station.
