Dalquharran Trails 6 km / 3.7 miles
In 2023 an extensive network of trails was created in the Dalquharran Estate. They pass by the ruins of the old and 'new' Dalquharran castles and are waymarked with surfaces that make them fully accessible.

Barony Hill Trail 10.5 km / 6.5 miles
A walk of contrasts – open moorland views, a summit ridge and idyllic woodland walking. For a short walk to sample the area, follow this route in reverse – from Dailly follow the River Girvan at the rear of the village as far as you care to go, then return along the same path.
There’s even a ruined castle or two. More information on the Dailly Trails leaflet and Walkhighlands.
Hadyard Hill, part of the Maxwellston Hill Trail
Maxwellston Hill Trail 5.5 km / 3.5 miles
A rough hill walk to a panoramic viewpoint. This is one of the trickier walks in this area, requiring the ability to take and follow a compass bearing -useful should the mist descend on the featureless summit plateau.

Kilgrammie Trail 7.65 km / 4.74 miles
