The Carsphairn Trail is about 1.5 miles long starting at Carsphairn Parish Church which was built in 1815. It replaced an earlier Church which had been destroyed by fire, Inside are plaques in memory of John Loudon Macadam (Creator of Tarmac)and another to comemorate Carsphairn`s Covenanting minister, John Semple. The surrounding Churchyard has graves from over 300 years ago.

The next sight on the trail is the Grey Stone (after which the local pub is named)

Legend has it that the Devil was so upset when the parish of Carsphairn was formed the he hurled a rock from the top of nearby Cairnsmore, with the intention of destroying the Church.

At the North end of the Village is Carsphairn Heritage Centre, opened in 1992, on the site of the old village petrol station. On the Opposite site of the road is the Lagwyne village hall.

Just outside the limits of Carsphairn is the Green Well of Scotland. This is the site of several legends. One of these was that a pot of gold was stolen from Lagwyne Castle and the thief threw it into the well, but it was never recovered.

The walk finishes with the stone circle located slightly further north comprising 13 irregularly shaped boulders which have nearly all been misplaced but now lie in an oval. In the same place there is a burial mound, which is reputed to have been the burial site for the dead after a battle near Dalmellington.
