Croy Hill

Croy Hill is situated near Kilsyth and is easily accessible by car (parking at Auchinstarry Marina) and public transport (train station Croy). Croy Hill is located on the Antonine Wall and contains the remains of a Roman fortlet on its summit.  Although the Antonine Wall has largely disappeared over the ages, the ditch in front of the rampart is still very visible and has been used to locate orienteering controls in the past. The area contains a mixture of old woodland, regenerated mining areas, and open grassland. It has lots of interesting detail and is ideal for sprint and middle distance races.

Croy Hill was completely remapped (KW, 2024) using LiDAR Phase 5 data and vegetation based on NDVD with independent calibration based on several recces. Hopefully to be used for a SoSOL in spring 2025.
