Croy Hill was a Roman fort, one of 24 along the length of the wall. Overlooking the Forth and Clyde Canal, today it makes for an enjoyable ramble with good views in clear weather. Lying in the Central Belt, there are plenty of transport options so you can drive, cycle or use public transport to reach the area. Croy train station is immediately south of the hill and with a canal marina to the north east, you can technically arrive by water too.
Ditches and hillocks give away the presence of the fortifications and from the top, the Kilsyth Hills bubble up on the horizon. To extend your adventures, explore nearby Bar Hill Fort. Hike here all year round, taking care in slippery conditions.
