Dun More

The walk up Dun More rewards you with genuine Highland views without requiring fell-runner fitness. It's a modest peak by Scottish standards - 719 metres - but the approach from Crieff is straightforward enough that families with decent boots will manage it in a couple of hours there and back.

What you're climbing is essentially a big hill rather than a dramatic mountain, so don't expect rock scrambles or exposure. The real draw is the vantage point across Perthshire once you're up there. On clear days you can pick out Ben Vorlich and the Trossachs; murky afternoons, frankly, are best avoided. The walk itself winds through moorland with the occasional burn to cross - nothing technical, but the ground's boggy in patches so proper footwear matters.

This suits walkers looking for something between a park stroll and a serious ridge hike. Kids aged eight upwards will likely enjoy it if they're used to countryside walking. It's the sort of thing you tick off mid-week rather than make an expedition of, really.

You're well placed for a caravan holiday in the area - both Comrie Holiday Park and Twenty Shilling Wood are barely a mile away, making Dun More a natural addition to exploring the glens. Loch Earn Leisure Park sits five miles further south if you want to combine hiking with water activities. Spring and early autumn are your best bets weather-wise; winter can be boggy hell.
