Overview
This is a hillwalk but the route uses mainly tracks to reach the highest point in the Gargunnock Hills, walking via Lees Hill before returning to the start point. The summit provides great views over Flanders Moss to the Highland mountains beyond. The summit plateau can be boggy and needs careful navigation in poor weather.
