Braid River Path Description

Featuring some lovely farmland in the surrounding area and a pleasant riverside atmosphere, the Braid River Path is a great way to escape the chaos of the city and relax as you stroll the winding banks of the river.

Setting out from the trailhead of Grange Road, you will head through the light tree cover to the southwest until you arrive at the banks of the edge of the Braid River. From here, you will continue on to the southwest and enjoy the views of the peaceful farmland surrounding you, as you follow the winding riverbank towards the edge of the Galgorm Castle Golf Club. At this point, you will turn back and retrace your steps along the trail to return to the starting point for the Braid River Path.
