Discover a Roman fort, an Iron Age stronghold and a Georgian canal. The wooded slopes of Bar Hill are a colourful patchwork of broadleaf and conifer trees. There are wonderful views of the Forth and Clyde Canal as you climb.
The fort stands on the highest point of the turf and stone Antonine Wall, built in the AD140s as the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire.
