Based in the Scottish Borders, Eildon Ramblers is a friendlywalking group for people of all ages. We offer year-round walks to suit avariety of tastes.
Hartwoodmyres is organically managed, grazed only over the winter, hence is a site of many wild flowers and ground nesting birds during the summer. The beginning of July is normally a good time to view orchids The orchids have been early this year but there should be some for viewing.
We start with a short walk alongside a quiet road to the Bishop’s Stone. From there we follow an undulating path to the Trig Point at 353 m/1158 ft above sea level which is an excellent view spot, returning by a looping path back to the start.
The path walking is good but single file, however if leaving the path to view the orchids the ground is uneven and therefore poles and boots would be recommended.
The attached photos are of orchids seen on 21/6/25.
Circular walk, grade D, very leisurely. Hiking boots and poles are recommended.
