A must see if you’re in the area! The walk is lovely and there’s great information signs around the site. A great thing to do on a sunny day!

Very nice place and free! About .50 miles/800 meters walk up a decent path, some loose gravel but not much. The ascent takes about 25 minutes of casual walking. Very beautiful scenery and you may even get right up next to some cows. Old bunkers, maybe, near the path as well. The site itself you have to use your imagination on, they have outline and signposts telling you what was supposed to be. Antonio wall is maybe still there, not sure...there is a ravine and some rocks that look old...but 1800 years old I cannot say. You should come here though to experience a piece of history. There are no staff members or building here, no toilets or cafes here as well. Great place for a picnic!

Just like it says, it's a Roman fort. Be prepared for a bit of a hike as Google maps says you can drive right up near the fort. But no, there is a sign at the bottom saying pedestrians only and there is no real parking set aside for visitors. Once there, you might be slightly underwhelmed at what is left of the fort but the view is amazing and worth the climb up the hill. It's not very busy, but there is no rubbish facilities so be prepared to take out what you bring in. Dogs welcome but there is a sign telling you to clean up after them.

Nice easy walk, took my 3 year old he was fine. There is 2 ways (maybe 3) to the top of Bar Hill, one is a gentle incline with the other, which we came down, very steep. Lovely walk taking you through the farmers fields then the woods and then onto Barr Hill itself, some great well signed points of interest on the walk, which could be done quickly if no breaks. View from the top was exceptional, I was lucky it was a nice clear day, had a picnic then ascended the steep slope, the views are absolutely unreal: You can see all Campsie Glens and facing Croy Hill and Roman Fort.

Surprised at how beautiful the whole place was. Easy to get to and well worth the journey. Parking was a bit tricky as I had to park in an industrial estate but it was early so no businesses were open yet.

Good place for a walk, with family, dog or by self for peace and quiet Not much left from the fort itself but few boards with information around. Part of Antonine's wall trail. Views are amazing

Great place to learn about the Antonine wall. Always interesting to see the Roman engineering in the bath house. Well worth a visit. Nice walk up the hill too and amazing views from the top of castle hill.

Interesting fort with informative displays, accessible via a 1km walk from the nearby Auchinstary Quarry. The route is buggy friendly for the most part, if you follow the military way rather than the paralell (but much steeper) Antonine Wall, though we did unfortunately encounter one locked gate that we had to lift the buggy over as the adjacent kissing gate was too tight to maneuver through.

We parked at a small industrial complex in Twechar and followed the sign from the road. It’s a good uphill ascent on a farm track that gets quite steep, go through the gate and keep going uphill. You may get a visit from the cows going home as you go through the field. At the top of the field turn left off the track, through the gate and up to the wood. Enter the fort through another gate and you can see an info board. It can be hard work to get there but it’s worth it. It would be a great place to take a picnic. Explore the area and enjoy the peace and quiet. There are info boards to read and some small sections of architecture to look at. The best by far, are the views, stunning.

Great walk. Simple to start up the road and through a few walking gates. In the actual monument area you have two choices at the sign for Bar Hill by the ruined, overgrown cottage. Right up the hill past the sign is John Muir way which takes you down then up the hill. It's quite steep with a v shaped ditch on the right. Boggy at bits in the middle but good fun if steep. Did I mention steep? Very steep and I'd advise uphill if it's snowing unless you like butt-sledging. Leads all the way up to the iron age hill fort. Then to the Roman fort. Left at the sign takes you up the straight military road with a smaller fort part way up. Easy to walk with lateral bumps to make it easy to walk up or down. Leads up to the Roman fort straight ahead or to the iron age fort to the right. Lots to see in the Roman fort area but didn't get yo see it all due to the Snow. If you're with wee ones, give yourself 3 hours for the walk and explore.

Best walking rout start at Twechar. From the not so hidden passage leading to Bar Hill Roman Fort. Walk up hill following the sight and direction of John Muir Way. This will lead you to B802 finally, cross the road turn left you will be soon arrived Auchinstarry. Follow the canal your on the way to Croy. Cross the Forth & Clyde canal, turn left again. Follow the canal at about 40 minutes time you will arrive Twechar again.

Lovely site with great views. Very well kept considering and quiet, plenty of space for kids to run around and doesn't take long to get to from the car.

Really quite atmospheric. Some Roman sites you visit are in the midst of housing estates or there is just s plaque in a green grass field, but here you can sense why the fort was here. The views west, North and East are quite spectacular and it doesn't take much to imagine being on the look out for some hostile attack. The remaining Antonine wall and ditch are pretty impressive at this site and not something you would want to attack. The iron age fort at the summit must have been pretty small and there is no visual evidence left. There are two approaches. From Twechar there is a steep path leading from the war memorial to the Roman fort. From Kilsyth side there is a less steep but longer path to the top. If you want to make a circular trip you could use the tow path alongside the canal to get back to where you came from. Definitely worth a visit on a clear day. Or an atmospheric and spooky visit on a foggy day!!

Access by hiking trail through pastures. Fairly complete information on the site.

Roman fortification in Scotland

Magnificent views from Fort. Quite a walk up the hill Worth a visit

Interesting area with good views.

A serene spot with an amazing view. Some stonework showing from previous investigations, such as the Bathouse and Headquarter building foundations. There's a general fort shaped earthwork, but dont expect high walls and deep ditches. It's worth it for the view, but quite a steep 10 minute hill walk to the top, with no vehicle access.

(Translated by Google) Difficult to get there, but worth it. (Original) Difícil de lá chegar, mas vale a pena ?

Great for exploring !!

It's a good walk if you follow the full circular route. The fort ruins are well marked and signposted.

Romans near Glasgow

Good walk with the dog/s

Live locally and love walking here. Great views all around especially on a clear day.

(Translated by Google) The place is very beautiful There are not many remains but the ones that are there are well explained in murals. (Original) El lugar es muy bonito. No hay muchos restos pero los que hay están bien explicados en murales.

(Translated by Google) In the main street there is a big brown sign right next to the war memorial. The 800 meters indicated as the distance are rather double. The fort lies on the top of the mountain and offers a great panoramic view. In the Roman fort are some stone remnants of the bath (Hypokausten). In addition, the layout of the Principia is indicated and also a few remains of walls visible. Really recommended! (Original) In der Hauptstraße gibt es direkt neben dem Kriegerdenkmal ein großes braunes Hinweisschild. Die als Entfernung angegebenen 800 Meter sind eher das doppelte. Das Kastell liegt auf der Bergspitze und bietet einen tollen Rundumblick. Im Römerkastell befinden sich einige Steinreste der Badeanlage (Hypokausten). Außerdem ist der Grundriss der Principia angedeutet und auch einige wenige Mauerreste sichtbar. Echt empfehlenswert!

Pretty spot. Nice views.

If you like historical site that are a little out of the way and quiet, this is a great one. Wonderful remnants of the Antonine Wall, and great interpretive signs, not to mention the Roman fort remains (which are not much more than lumps in the ground at this point). However, if you have a little imagination, you can envision the incredible engineering feat these structures represented nearly two thousand years ago.

Actual visible remains of this fort and bathhouse, highest fort on the Antonine wall ,one of my favourites along with Rough castle.

Perfect walk for a dry clear day.

An excellent hill walking spots around this ancient historical site has grown my sacelleum knowledge!

Fascinating site the shape of the ground from the forts still exists

A Fun day Trail Running in the Snow at Barhill

Croy Hill and Barr Hill absolutely fabulous walk

Lovely walk - wear sturdy shoes! Great views from the Fort and the Trig Point especially on a clear day!

Great walk with terrific views. Great for kids and adults alike.

Brilliant place to visit

Great views, lots of space for dogs to run around

800m of hill to get up to it. Great views and good information points once you get there

(Translated by Google) A great place (Original) Super miejsce

The foundations the fort are still visible, thus giving you the opportunity to appreciate the actual scale and position of the fort. I would recommend to download the antonine app so you can view and learn more about this location.

Felt quite Romany

Use your imagination to relive the life of the Roman fort.

Great walk along the remains of the wall

Bit steep not to bad a climb up the hill but cracking view at too with Roman ruins dotted around you.

(Translated by Google) Very little remains to be seen If you pass by it is worth the km on foot Beautiful view of the valley (Original) È rimasto molto poco da vedere Se passate vicino merita il km a piedi Bella la vista sulla valle

Amazing place you still walk on part of the Roman wall

Fascinating that this still remains after all the many years since the Romans left.

Ancien roman outpost. Hidden gem in the middle of the countryside. Short walk from the road, not too steep. The view is great and once you see it, the roman fort makes complete sense.

Well worth a visit

Great dog walking area.

This is a really beautifully place and the view at the top of the hill is amazing. It Is full of history to.

Beautiful viewpoint but a long way from the road and any parking. Worth the trip but not suitable for those with mobility issues.

Great wee day

Great views around here and a good place for a walk and interesting piece of history here and lovely place to watch the sunset. Path to here is ok but suggest caution in inclement weather.

Excellent open countryside.

Fascinating

Very interesting, learned a lot when I was there.
