A leisurely circular walk following the River Whiteadder upstream from Abbey St Bathans to Ellemford Bridge. The outbound route follows a farm track, and then on to open fields which may be overgrown in places. From Greenhope Cottage we follow a quiet access road down to the bridge. After Ellemford we follow the SUW on a quiet forestry track back to Abbey St Bathans, where refreshments are available at the Woodlands Café.
This walk coincides with the annual Ellemford & District Show where there will be the opportunity to browse the exhibits.
Any livestock we see will be in fenced fields.
There will be a lunch stop at Ellemford and two drinks stops.
