About Ascreavie Hill
The walk up Ascreavie Hill near Blairgowrie is straightforward and rewards you with proper views across Perthshire and Aberdeenshire. It's not a monster of a peak - nothing that requires specialist kit or technical climbing - just a steady plod through moorland with the landscape opening up as you gain height.
From the summit you get a real sense of how the landscape shifts from lowland farming to proper wild country. On a clear day the views stretch for miles. On a murky one, well, you'll still have walked through some nice terrain. The whole thing takes a couple of hours max, making it ideal if you're camped at Nethercraig Holiday Park and want to stretch your legs without dedicating your whole morning.
It's the sort of hill that works equally well for families with older kids and for solo walkers after some fresh air. Youngsters might find it a bit dull if they're after drama or drama or scrambles, but anyone who enjoys a proper Scottish moorland walk will get something from it.
Parking is usually straightforward near the trailhead. There's no visitor centre or café, so bring water and something to eat. Early morning or late afternoon light is when it looks best - the moorland has a real golden quality in low sun. Worth fitting in if you're exploring the Blairgowrie area, though don't expect it to be the highlight of your trip. It's a solid addition to a park holiday, not a reason to plan one.
