Creach Bheinn is a rough hill sitting above vast swathes of forestry. The old A828 which heads around Loch Creran is much quieter since the bridge by Creagan was built and it is from this roadside that the easiest and most direct routes begin.

The easiest route starts from Druimavuic, and is the same as if heading to Beinn Sgulaird from this direction - therefore fairly straightforward to combine these two hills into one outing.
