Corlic Hill

The walk up Corlic Hill rewards you with proper views across Argyll - the kind that make you understand why people settle in this corner of Scotland. It's not a scramble, but it's steep enough that you'll feel like you've earned the vista when you reach the top.

From Park Farm, it's a straightforward approach. The summit gives you sight lines over the Cowal Peninsula and out towards the lochs. On a clear day - and you need to pick your weather here - the landscape spreads out in layers of green and blue. Walkers will get the most from this one. Kids aged eight and up will manage it without complaint if the path's in decent nick, though younger ones might find the gradient tedious.

Allow a couple of hours return if you're moving at a steady pace and stopping for photos. It's free, obviously - just park sensibly and head up. The best light hits it in late afternoon, so plan accordingly.

If you're based at Rosneath Castle Caravan Park down the road, this makes an easy half-day outing without driving far. It's the sort of thing you'd do between a longer walk elsewhere or as a warm-up for a proper day out. Not a destination trip on its own, but genuinely worth the leg work if you're in the area.
