Ben Chonzie & Auchnafree Hill
Routes on the Glen Turret & Glen Lednock Munros & Corbetts
At the edge of the Southern Highlands, Ben Chonzie (also known as 'Ben-y-hone') and Auchnafree Hill dominate the landscape immediately north of the towns of Crieff and Comrie. Their soft rolling outlines seen from afar hide crags and dark lochans. Various routes approach from different directions, each giving a different perspective of the hills.Main route summary
