Culter Fell is a very enjoyable afternoons walking, you can go up the Fell Shin which is a pretty steep walk with around 500m of ascent, but with a few rest stops to enjoy the great views its not too bad, or walk further down the road and go up the path near the dam at the resevior. I was fortunate enough to get some good weather at the top and the views to Broad Law and Tinto Hill are splendid. I went down the way I went up ( Fell Shin) but I will revisit this hill and do a circular walk going up from the dam and down the Shin which should be a bit easier on the legs. On the day of my walk I considered doing Tinto again but the car park was full but Culter Fell was deserted and its only 10 minutes further up the road.
