The summit of Ord Hill is the location of an Iron Age fort, neighbouring that at Craig Phadrig over the Beauly Firth. Whilst the summit itself doesn't have the views the hillside is famous for, it's so close to the main viewpoint and such a pleasant forest run, it would be a shame to miss it.

Highlight • Viewpoint

This viewpoint from the side of Ord Hill is arguably one of the best in Inverness. There is a small bench to rest on whilst you pause to enjoy the scenery.
