Bath Hill is situated near the town of Kinghorn and overlooks the Firth of Forth, providing stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

The hill's name is believed to originate from the Old English word "bað" meaning "a place near water."

Its strategic position makes it a popular destination for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers.

The terrain of Bath Hill is relatively gentle, with grassy slopes leading to its summit. The hill is covered in a mix of vegetation, including grasses, shrubs, and some scattered trees.
