Dareduff Hill is a prominent hill located in Renfrewshire, Scotland. It is situated approximately 5 miles southwest of Paisley and 10 miles west of Glasgow. With an elevation of 334 meters (1,096 feet), it stands as a notable landmark in the local landscape.

The hill is characterized by its distinctive cone-shaped summit, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. It is covered in grass and heather, with scattered patches of trees dotting its slopes. The terrain is fairly steep, particularly towards the summit, making it a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Dareduff Hill is part of a larger range known as the Renfrewshire Heights, which includes nearby peaks such as Hill of Stake and Corlic Hill. These hills were formed during the last ice age, and their geological composition mainly consists of sandstone and conglomerate rocks.

The area surrounding Dareduff Hill is rich in flora and fauna, with a variety of plant and animal species inhabiting its slopes. Visitors can spot birds such as buzzards and kestrels soaring above, while rabbits and deer can occasionally be seen grazing in the nearby fields.

Access to Dareduff Hill is relatively straightforward, with several footpaths leading to the summit from surrounding areas. The hill provides an excellent opportunity for outdoor recreation, offering stunning views and a peaceful environment to enjoy nature.
