Clockwise circuit of King's Cave Trail from the car park. From high point of path cut up through the trees and over the stock fence to the trig point then went straight down outside wood to path (thick header and dead bracken - OK going down but would be unpleasant going up). Finished off trail past the caves and then back over through the wood. Nice views over to Kintyre and over the island. | StueyB | 26/01/2024 |
From the King's Cave car park with Harvey (the dog) leaving the path when level with the lochan. Easily up through the trees but awkward getting through the small foliage at the top of the forest. Found a spot in the fence where the barbed wire had been removed. | hillsman | 28/11/2023 |
From Blackwaterfoot, using the trail past The Doon to the King's Cave complex along the shoreline. Then the trail to the forest car park. At the forest edge a faint path at NR 88666 31015 leads up for 190m steeply through bracken and heather to the trig on the summit. Returned to join the forest trail down to road, following it to our rental at Cairnfield. With RP. 6.5km, with 190m of ascent. | Man of Kernow1 | 03/09/2023 |
With RobN and Luna. CCW Loop on King’s cave walk, cut up to summit from path in forest at NR 88822 31237. From King’s Cave CP NR 89776 31477. | masmith | 15/07/2023 |
From the Kings Cave car park and through the trees from the path high point. | Chris Peart | 13/07/2023 |
Walked up from the Kings Cave route up the line of the trees in five minutes. Easy bag. Then along coast path to Blackwaterfoot. Great view. | nickywood1 | 02/05/2023 |
An unexpectedly easy detour from the usual waymarked circuit, as Colin has noted. We left the path at NR 8885 3122 and the lines of trees are pretty much aligned perfectly to get to the sparkly white trig. | milimana | 12/09/2022 |
Second visit in the course of a coast to coast walk between Blackwaterfoot and Lamlash. The summit is easily gained through tree tunnels from the King's cave path, thus avoiding summer vegetation | Colin Crawford | 25/08/2022 |
Straight up East from the gate on the King's Cave path. Glorious view. | DavieRuts | 18/05/2022 |
Coastal path from Blackwaterfoot, taking in the impressive geological features to the King's Cave with its Victorian graffiti, then up to the trig point, through heather for the final 200m or so. | summitter | 09/02/2022 |
This hill can be done from Shiskine in the 2.5 hours between the buses from and to Brodick | Kiltie | 08/09/2021 |
Nipped along red path from King’s Cave car park then at the forest break headed to open hillside, over the barbed wire fence and up to summit. Trig looks fairly recently painted. | assynt_bob | 08/03/2020 |
Bus to Shiskine, then walk to cave carpark, clockwise round trail to high point then straight up through mature trees to summit near forest edge then back to Blackwaterfoot via the Doon which is maybe a P20 and a better viewpoint. My 2,999th TuMP. Back to Brodick on the bus. | Thearlaichdubh | 15/11/2019 |
Kings Cave circuit clockwise with Annette and Phil/ Up the fence from the gate. Trig recently painted. | Mountain Goat | 12/10/2018 |
Enjoyable walk from car park via northern path down to King's Cave.Didn't fancy steep bracken and heather so went back along path until level with lochan. Then easily up through gap between trees. | catman | 16/09/2018 |
Quick visit after a drop off from Jon at the forestry car park. Unfortunately not enough time today to have an explore of the King's Caves. | Alex C | 20/11/2017 |
Lovely forest walk in the sunshine from the Kings Cave car park, took a left along the red route to the gate and then up the steep slippy bank to the lovely white trigpoint which was shining out in the sunshine. Fantastic wee hill with wonderful coastal views. | thejackrustles | 18/11/2017 |
Sunny walk from car park with Smudge. Parked at caves car park and went up left path till gate and then steep up fence line to trig returned the same way. | Dugswell2 | 16/11/2017 |
Circular walk taking in the top on the way. Cut through the forest easily to regain path. Nice coastal stretch. | jenx | 16/11/2017 |
Revisited with Dugswell. | Smudge | 16/11/2017 |
With Jenx and Bryher from Caves CP to East. Did an anticlockwise circuit of forest, fine views to North. Along coast to caves down at beach level, interesting. Back up path and before woods up the fence line to trig. Easy to hop fence and descend through trees to path at GR 88899 31212 without height loss and back to CP | nordicstar | 16/11/2017 |
from cp good path then up through trees. | robertphillips | 15/05/2016 |
From Corrie i took the North Island bus and got off at the King's Cave car park and like others took the trail through the forest and on emerging onto the moorland took the steep route upto the trig. Nice clean trig. Great views out to Kintyre. Descended and continued on to visit about 6 of the King's caves before taking the footpath to Blackwaterfoot.. | Dazingdale | 14/05/2016 |
Lovely circuit to King's caves with Fraser and Suzy. | andy | 06/09/2015 |
Kings cave path, with mora | BLACKHILL | 07/04/2015 |
Longer approach from Blackwaterfoot golf course recommended. Injured tourist helicoptered to hospital from cave. | jimbloomer | 19/05/2013 |
Picked up this hill to bag the trig. Good carpark on the road 3.5km north of Blackwaterfoot and a good forest path leading down to the Kings Cave on the coast. When the path exits the forest a short, but steep, diversion eastwards from the path leeads to the summit. After returning to the path it is worth continuing on down the cliff path to visit the impressive sea caves. | jonglew | 14/05/2013 |
Up through trees from waymarked path with little difficulty. A very rough moor. | fasgadh | 17/10/2011 |
A diversion en route NR 898 314 to Blackwaterfoot. | summitsup | 20/05/2010 |
heathery summit, see S8732. | RHW | 03/04/2010 |
Evening trig spotting whilst staying near Lagg. There's a car-park to the E and forest trail to King's Cave on the coast. Followed this till it emerged from the forest, then steep ascent up deep heather to trig. | Aye Jimmy | 26/07/2009 |
Used new clockwise path from marked car park till edge of forest, then up short, steep slope. | agentmancuso | 11/04/2008 |
