Pleasant 40-odd minute walk from the road to the site. Interesting earthwork and impressive round-house foundation.

We visited as part of a Duke of Edinburgh Award hike to Abbey St Bathans. It's an impressive place and the historic details founds around the site are so fascinating. Well worth a visit if you are passing, with the Woodlands Café only a short walk from there

If you want exciting castles, big walls, towers, etc. this isn't for you. If you want a lovely walk through remote (ish) countryside and the waist-high remnants of an early time, this *is* for you. I took a dog - the property by the river has chickens roaming around, so keep them on the lead. The fields are used for cows and sheep, but none were there when I went, so it was off-lead all the way. A lovely place to relax, have a picnic and reflect.

You definitely need to be ready for quite the trek to find this but it's worth it. The walk up here is rough ground and a few very steep hills but we were aiming to have a big walk so it worked for us but you definitely need some sensible shoes! A few signs to tell you all the information about the place and fantastic views

Park up in Abbey St. Bathans and walk to this simple but mind blowing feature - the fact you're walking in the same place others did thousands of years ago, and the effort involved to create the settlement!!! Take the effort to head up to the top of cockburn law - great panoramic views.
