Overview

Good hill walk with stunning views, mainly across open farmland with some good tracks. 

 

Steep climb from Roberton to Chapel Hill at the start of the walk, there is then some road walking prior to passing through Chisholme Institute grounds before following farm tracks back to the cars. Possibility of boggy conditions, cattle in some fields and the terrain has dense vegetation near the top.

 

Food and drink for 2 stops. Hiking boots and poles recommended.
