Starting off from the Old Pier, head off up Cardiff Street keeping uphill by Golf Road. Just before the car park for the golf club the route forks left onto the farm road. Skirting the steading the path goes right through a kissing gate and follows the line of the fence as it disappears over the horizon parallel to the sea.

Spectacular views can be enjoyed from the top of the hill and on to the descent. To the left you can see Kichattan Bay on the Island of Bute and also Mount Stuart the residence of the Marquess of Bute. Ahead on a clear day, beyond the chimney at Inverkip power Station and Dunoon can be seen Ben Lomond and the hills surrounding Loch Lomond whilst to the left are the hills of Argyll and the Cowal Peninsula.

The path continues down to the road where a choice awaits. Either turn right to Fintry Bay for a picnic with on a good day a pleasant swim off a safe beach. Alternatively turn left on the footpath and coastal walk back to Millport.
