(DG11 3DS) Ecclefechan -

A wide layby at the foot of Burnswark, recommended approach from Kirkconnel Hall Hotel/M74 junction (south of spot). Nothing but a great view and a picnic bench here but close (3-5 min drive) by the M74 junction. Final 100m approach road is not metalled but a good gravelled surface, just like the layby. The climb up Burnswark will take 5-10 mins and provide amazing 360 degree views. Height restriction is railway bridge at Kirkconnel Hall Hotel.
