About Core Hill

Core Hill isn't going to take your breath away with sheer drama, but it's a proper little walk that rewards you with solid views over Perthshire if you catch the weather right. The summit sits at a reasonable height without being punishing - you're looking at maybe an hour or so from the car park if you're moving steadily, longer if you're with younger legs.

What you get is straightforward: moorland underfoot, the kind of landscape that shifts colour through the seasons, and on a clear day the Ochill Hills roll out in front of you like someone's arranged them specifically for your benefit. The walk itself is pretty uncomplicated, which means families with kids who've got a bit of stamina won't struggle, and anyone wanting a gentle half-day ramble without the commitment of something like Ben Ledi further north will find it fits the bill.

Stay at Craighead Howf, just five miles away near Dunblane, and you've got your base sorted - cracking spot, that one. If you're spending a few days in the area, Core Hill works nicely as one of several walks rather than your main event. It's not a tourist trap, which is refreshing. Go early morning if you can, when the light's better and you won't be sharing the space with every school group and dog walker in a five-mile radius. Free to access, obviously - it's a hill.
