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.

From Belford on Bowmont, we head up the farm track towards The Street, passing The Shearers. We turn on to The Street, following it until we reach a fork which will take us on to Sundhope Kipp (excellent views all round from here). We then retrace our steps back to The Street and visit the very impressive Blackbrough Hillfort. We head back along The Street for a short distance before cutting off to cross Craik Moor and then we descend via Wondrum Hill back to the start.
The walk is on farm and grassy tracks with some steeper sections both up and down. As with all hill walks, there may be livestock.
Circular walk, grade B, moderate. Hiking boots and poles are recommended.
