Wonderful views from the peak of Knockendoch overlooking Loch Kindar and the surrounding countryside.

For the best views in this range of hills, Knockendoch tops the summit of Criffel, and the path this way is more interesting than the new motorway path to Criffel from Ardwall

Knockendoch at just about 450m is the lower relation to Criffel. Most people climb Criffel these days from the Ardwall Farm car park where an excellent path leads you all the way to the top.
It is sad to see that almost everyone reverses that route on the way down.
The connoisseur route is to include Knockendoch either on the way up or down. This hill should not be missed. It may be much lower but it is a superb viewpoint for New Abbey and the Nith estuary. A great place to stop, relax and enjoy the view.
