Carter Bar Border Stone

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Carter Bar is a hill (418m) right on A68, and on the side of the road is the Border stone indicating the entrance to Scotland or England (depending on which side you are). Good photo opps!

Arks Edge to Fairwood Fell Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Although this can be very a bit rough terrain, this is a lovely and remote walk with views of The Cheviots to the south, on the edge of the Leithope Forest to the north. Stunning and beautiful, although the grass might get annoying after a while. After rain, it will be boggy. Be warned!

View of Lamblair Edge

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

This track runs very close to Leithope Forest's Lamblair Edge (to the north of the track). There are some logging areas here and there as these forests are managed, but there are plenty of very pleasant and tranquil forests here, and for most of the time with spectacular views of The Cheviots.
