Starting from the Cross continue along Main Street and cross Roche Way into Vennel Street. Turning right onto the main Kilwinning Road continue to Saltcoats Road and turn right. Just over the Caaf Water at the Lynn Bridge is the start of the walk. There is also a small alternative Car Park just before the Lynn Bridge on the right for those needing better access. Take care crossing the Lynn Bridge.

A plaque on Lynn Bridge commemorates 'Hughie's Field' and is a sister's tribute to her dead brother.

The walk starts at the small iron gate in the field on the right just after the bridge. Shortly after the start of the walk a path dips to the right where stepping stones formerly offered a crossing. Continue on the south bank of the Caaf Water to pass a picturesque waterfall where a lade and remains of a mill can be seen. This beautiful glen is enhanced by native birch, hazel rowan and the the burn is the haunt of a number of birds including wagtails, dippers and the occasional kingfisher.

At the head of the walk a bridge crosses to Pinnoch Point or 'Peden's Pulpit' named after the famous Covenanting preacher who was said to have delivered sermons from this commanding rock.

Returning along the north side of the glen the walk passes the site of West Lynn which was the home of Dalry-born artist George Houston RSA (1869 - 1947).
