The Knock of Crieff

The Knock is a wooded hill which stands above Crieff, its path to the summit a popular climb for locals and visitors alike.

Starting from Knock car park, a short, steep ascent is followed by waymarked paths completing a pleasant 3.75-mile loop, suitable for walkers or cyclists.

The viewpoint at the summit provides a fantastic outlook north to the Highlands, south over Strathearn to the Ochil Hills, and west to the mountains and foothills of Ben Vorlich and Stùc a’Chròin.

There are benches here to take a breather before continuing your hike.

Further sweeping views await, particularly striking on a clear day, before a lovely track passing through woods of beech, oak and birch takes you back to your starting point.
