Kirkmirran and Screel Hill

About trip

This might be a relatively small hill,
at 344 m but it still offers ectacular views.The route to the top of Screel Hill is way-marked and heads out of forest to an area of heather and bracken wlth rocky outcrops. Look out for red grouse. The view
from the summit takes in the Oueensberry range to the north east and Caimsmore of Carsphairn and the Rhinns of Kells in the
north west. On a clear day you'll see distant mountains and a vista across the beautiful Solway Firth. A stroll to another cairn reveals even more panoramic delights across to Bengalrn. If you have the energy
for an extended walk you could also take in the top of Bengairn. The return route heads downhill into the forest and joins a track
that leads to the outward path.
