Rising to 278m, Cockleroy Hill features a trig point and offers breathtaking 360-degree views. It's located west of Beecraigs Country Park and stands as a prominent high point that can be included in a loop around the area. It was once a hillfort and its strategic position becomes clear when you reach the summit

Cockleroy Hill at 278m has a trig point and stunning 360-degree views. I's a standalone high point to the west of Beecraigs country park and an ascent can be added to a loop of that area. This was historically a hill fort and when you're there it's obvious why the location was chosen.

Amazing 360° views from the top. If you're on a bike go back down the way you came.

A nippy wee climb but well worth the effort - fantastic view of Lothian, the bridges & over 2 darkest Fife. I'm a history buff, so a 5000 year old burial mound, up high on a hill was a real highlight to me. Sorry if it's not your thing.
