Crawick Multiverse

Highlight • Monument

Crawick Multiverse is a land art project by the landscape architect and designer Charles Jencks near Sanquhar.

Opened in 2015 it is located on the site of a former open cast coal mine. It's visually very striking and well worth stopping to take a look at if your route goes by.

Mennock Pass Climb from Mennock

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

From the North a long but very steady climb to the top through Leadhills (which has a hotel with some facilities). The descent to Mennock through Wanlockhead is great; fairly wide and steady so for can ride fast with some confidence, although there are many potholes to watch out for and the surface can be loose and gravelly at times so there's a few bends to be wary of.
