    This solidly made path takes you from Ardwall (where there is a car park with honesty box) to the summit of Criffel in no time via beautiful woodland and then open hillside with excellent views. No need to worry about bog crossing and soggy feet here!

      This is a great new path that goes all the way up through the forest from the Ardwall car park, close to and parallel to the Craigrockall Burn, then through a gate all the way up to the summit cairn.
      The path has a good grit surface with stone facings on drain crossings. It is very dry throughout.
      Compared to the old path this is magic.
      The highest point on Criffel is neither at the cairn nor by the Trig Point but is actually about 10m SW of the Trig Point.
