Hunters Trail
 

This trail journeys deep into the forest, past circular stells, along winding watercourses and beside ponds and waterfalls. Enjoy a well earned rest at the far end - there are horse rails and picnic tables before the forest road becomes a single track path. There are panoramic views across the Liddel Valley on the return leg.

How to get there:

Hunters Trail can be started from Dykecrofts Car Park in Newcastleton Forest which is part of Forests of the Scottish Borders. Newcastleton is the nearest town or village.

From Canonbie or Bonchester Bridge take the B 6357, then take the unclassified road at the southern end of Newcastleton village and follow the signs for Dykecrofts.
