| mark hill and torbay hill from parking opposite rock cottage. | robertphillips | 02/01/2023 |
| To our surprise and delight we traverse this in paths from Mark Hill and onto Barclay Hill. Initially on forest tracks and then there’s a forest path at about 60 m NW of the summit well used by horses. From the rock outcrop summit there’s another path down through gorse in grass to the road. | Denise | 16/04/2022 |
| From the upper Rockcliffe car park, teasing a way up through fields and trees, past the reservoir. Pretty rough going most of the way. A few contenders for high point within a small area above the gate. Exited by footpath NW towards Mark Hill | Colin Crawford | 25/02/2022 |
| Dirt pull-in at NX 8631 5465, with gate into rough field a few metres NW along the road. Followed my nose on this one, numerous tracks. A bit convoluted on the out, dipping a bit southwards. On the return, once reaching the little horse jumping area (arounf NX 8558 5457) took a more direct route back. Rubbish ground generally. | jonglew | 14/01/2021 |
| From Mark Hill following a myriad of mountain bike trails, forestry tracks, horse trails and flattened bracken. Found the rocky summit but wandered around the nearby wall as unsure what spot was actually highest. | summitter | 05/09/2019 |
| From Rock Cottage along track then a fight through brash and young trees. Found decent track coming down which eneded a few m from my route of ascent. | cjo | 23/09/2017 |
| Absolute shocker. Parked at Rockcliffe CP - free and up past hotel on waymarked tracks to W of hill. No obvious way up to thrashed through the worst possible vegetation until I found the summit and the NS path along it. there might be a HP right in the middle of one of the gorse bushes. 100m from the summit there is a gate from which a very faint track takes you down to the forest road. I left a cairn there to help anyone who is daft enough to try this one. | Thearlaichdubh | 19/07/2017 |
| P by Barons Craig Hotel. Track then steeply through trees. To discover that MB track goes to the top of Mark Hill from the NS track just to the W. Onwards to Torbay which has a path from the NW to the top. | chrisbien | 20/05/2017 |
