The rocky summit of Mayar sits above grass-covered slopes that rise above impressive cliffs of Corrie Fee that overlooks forested Glen Doll. To the south of Mayar is Glen Prosen and to the north is a remote area of undulating terrain leading to Tom Buidhe.

Mayar along with it's neighbouring Munro Driesh, form a long stretch of grass-covered high ground above the Angus Glens. These hills have well defined paths up their slopes and make for one of the easiest Munro-bagging days.

Extending this route northwards will test navigation over fairly featureless terrain, but the effort is rewarded not only by bagging the Munros of Tom Buidhe and Tolmount, but also by a lovely hike down Jock's Road into Glen Doll.
