About Tower Hill
The walk up Tower Hill offers proper views across Aberdeenshire once you've made the climb from Huntly. It's not particularly high or strenuous - more of a local's favourite than a mountain expedition - but on a clear day you can see why people bother making the trip.
What you're actually doing is walking to what amounts to a substantial hilltop with some historical significance to the area. The panorama from the top sweeps across farmland and distant hills, and if the weather cooperates, it's a solid hour's outing that beats sitting in the car. Get there early if you want to avoid the midday haze that can soften the distance.
It's the sort of walk that suits families with older kids and anyone who wants a gentle leg-stretch without needing proper mountaineering kit. The views won't blow your mind, but they're genuine and local. Worth doing if you're staying at Huntly Castle Holiday Park and the weather's on your side.
Timing-wise, allow an hour to ninety minutes depending on your pace and how long you want to loiter at the summit. There's no visitor centre or facilities up top, so take water. It's free to access, and you can do it any time - just park sensibly near Huntly and find the walking route. The best season is spring through autumn when visibility is more reliable.
