Overview

This is a wonderful circular walk in attractive border hills. The outward section of the walk follows hillside paths above Lyne Water and Flemington Burn. The return cuts through Romano Hope before ascending Drum Maw and following a panoramic ridge walk over White Knowe and Whiteside Hill to an Iron Age fort.
