Overall Rating

Good

This was my first time visiting Tower Hill Park and I'll be honest, I was starting to wonder where my sat nav was taking me. It felt like we were climbing forever until I reached a gate just past someone's house and followed the road up. The road is single track with passing places. The ascent to the top of the hill where the tower is located is quite steep, but there is space to park nearby. There are no markings but there is more than enough room for vehicles. The tower serves no real purpose these days but it was built in 1847 for Duncan Darroch, the second chief of Clan Darroch.

Just uphill from the car park is the tower, which has a few benches where you can sit and take in the most beautiful view.

Parking & Transport

Average

I travelled to this place by personal vehicle

The road to the tower leads through a residential area and along a single track road with passing places. I had to wait for pedestrians to pass a few times. There is a large tarmacked area just downhill from the tower. There are no marked bays but there is plenty of space.

Accessible facilities: Dedicated on-site parking

Accessible Toilets

There are no toilets nearby.
