1 review of Castle Hill

Many wonderful views

Excellent

The Ochil Hills have several access points. One of the most famous for its height and the view from the top, is Dumyat. There are two routes, one is Castle Hill and the other is the Dumyat itself. It's not very high but it is not particularly easy to climb, and you should go to the tourist information office for some advice before setting out. There are two main entrances, in the village of Menstrie or near the church of Logie (more towards Stirling), where you can park your vehicle. At 6am on a beautiful morning, I was heading to the top of Dumyat, but in the fog I got lost and ended up on Castle Hill.

Once at the top, with my famous red coat, I found as many Scottish cows together as I've ever seen in my life. Loose, with their big horns, looking at my new red coat. Uh-oh... I sat quietly and took some pictures of cows, and since I just kept writing, I was left alone. I also got to do the same with some sheep and found access to the best part of this location: the views of the Stirling mountains starting the with natural park of the Trossachs. In this case, despite an easy rise and a fairly low height (418 meters), this is not a path for everyone and you have to go with some equipment. Don't forget to tell someone where you're going. But in the end, it's worth it for the views, tranquility and nature itself.
