If exiting from Millennium Hall car park, cross the road with care and turn right on Coupar Angus Road. Walk approximately 400m to reach the Birkhill Inn on your left, a good stop for refreshments at the end of your walk. Turn left into Blairfield Road. Initially this road is an access road with a pavement and then becomes a path. Where the path starts to descend, a signpost points to Templeton Woods and from here you can pick up an easy access path to explore this attractive woodland. Templeton Woods are managed by Dundee City Council Countryside Ranger Service and are home to roe deer, red squirrels and woodpeckers (Visitor Centre, toilets).
Continue down Blairfield Road to a T-junction and take the left hand track to Dronley Road. Once there turn left again towards Coupar Angus Road. For a longer walk a right turn at the T-junction takes you to Templeton Road. From here, quiet roads lead back to Templeton Woods and Clatto Country Park or to one end of the Railway Path at Rosemill.
As well as Templeton Woods, Dundee City Council Countryside Ranger Service manage Clatto and Camperdown Country Parks. Entrance to the latter through the north wall, 200m from the Birkhill Inn. Information is available on www.camperdownpark.com/woods.htm
Also The Roundie, reached by a path alongside the petrol station, is worth a visit.
