Linns Trail
 

The Linns Trail drops down into a wooded valley, criss-crossed with burns and alive with wildlife. Stretch your legs by walking out to the ruined cottage at Tweedenhead, where on a sunny day common lizards can be seen scuttling amongst the stones beside the bridge.

How to get there:

Linns 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.

OS Grid Reference: NY501874
