One of the most popular walks on Arran is a 5-mile loop through Glen Sannox, beginning and ending in Brodick.

Most people take this walk in a counter-clockwise direction, starting near the Arran Brewery and following the Goatfell trail before branching off onto the Cnocan Gorge Trail and looping through Glen Rosa to emerge at the Glen Rosa Campground at the head of the glen.

That walk is wonderful, but it can take up to 3 hours to complete. There's a shorter version that is a simple 'there-and-back' route, beginning and ending at the campground and taking in the Blue Pool, a popular wild swimming spot, and a beautiful waterfall on Glenrosa Water, under the shadow of Goatfell.

From Brodick take the B880 (The String Road) in the direction of Machrie. Roughly 200m past the beginning of the String Road you come to a lane on the right, immediately before the Old Brodick Burial Ground. The lane is signposted from the east (Brodick) but, as far as we could see, not from the west (Machrie). The signpost reads 'Cart Track, Glen Rosa'.
