Campsies Walk: Roon the Moon
Distance: 1.5 miles (2.5km)

Roon the MoonFrom Glazert Country House Hotel to South Brae, returning via Lovers’ Lane. The first section of the walk is roughly surfaced and fairly steep. The views across the valley are, however, enchanting. The route can easily be walked in reverse, starting from Lennoxtown Memorial Hall and up Station Road. Some people believe that the name ‘Roon the Moon’ arose because on bright nights, when the moon was clearly visible, it was said to feel like walking around the moon. Others believe the half-moon shape of the route is what gives rise to the name.

START from Glazert Country House Hotel, TR along Chestnut Walk, over stone bridge and Glazert Water, keeping SO.

  1. Continue along track past Red Hills woodland, and then veer R, passing farm and forestry tracks on L.
  2. Follow track as it rises more steeply to join the tarred road at top or ‘arc’ of the moon.
  3. TR to walk along arc. This point, at around 750 feet (228.5 m) above sea level, affords panoramic views of the valley below. (To extend walk, follow forestry walk sign posts.)
  4. Follow road downhill, passing house (Southfield) on R.
  5. Arrive at crossroads. TR into Lovers’ Lane (signposted Glazert Bank). Continue along Lovers’ Lane
    as it follows the course of Glazert Water and runs parallel to Strathkelvin Railway path.
  6. TL at junction with Chestnut Walk to finish walk at hotel.
