Drinkstone Hills

Highlight • Natural

Wide grassy paths typify Drinkstone Hills. It looks easy in the pictures but it can be tough going. It's worth it for the view back to Hawick though.

Drinkstone Hill Trig Point

Highlight • Summit

There's a trig point at the 1,043 feet (318 m) high Drinkstone Hill. This is a grass and pasture hilltop, but do not let that stop you getting here: there are gorgeous views from here across Longmoss Knowe to the distant hills on the horizon. In good sunlight and/or at sunset, the area is breathtaking.

Borthwick Ford

Highlight • Bridge

As the sign just by the ford implies, this is pretty deep. And also pretty cold. But nevertheless, it's a fun thing to try to ride through if the weather's good and the river's not too high.

For the faint of heart or porous of footwear there's also a footbridge, though.
