Nice selection of cakes, Pastries and pies

Tip by

1.30 km

This is a truly beautiful stretch of road. Best taken from the A76 side. It climbs for 8 miles. Near the top, the landscape opens out into a stunning valley and the road clings to the side. Never steep, it's well worth a visit.

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.
