Benty Roads stands at an elevation of approximately 468 meters (1,535 feet) above sea level, making it a notable peak in the area.

The hill takes its name from the nearby Benty Water, a small stream that flows through the surrounding countryside. Benty Roads is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape from its summit. On clear days, visitors can enjoy breathtaking vistas that stretch as far as the North Sea to the east and the Grampian Mountains to the north.

The ascent to Benty Roads can be undertaken from several directions, with various walking trails and footpaths crisscrossing the hill. Many hikers choose to start their journey from the nearby village of Monikie, which is located just south of the hill. The climb to the top is relatively moderate, making it accessible to a wide range of fitness levels.

Due to its close proximity to urban areas, Benty Roads is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, providing a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
