Overview

This is a pleasant scenic walk from Earlston , following Speedy’s path, a pleasant woodland walk amongst broadleaf trees, alongside the Leader Water . 
At Cowdenknowes, we cross Sorrowlessfields Bridge and make our way up to the A68. We cross with care and take the “ walker friendly “ road past Sorrowlessfields farm. From there we descend to the Stone Bridge, along the  Mill Meadow path to Haughhead and back along the road to Earlston Rugby ground .
This walk involves 2 or 3 short ascents on a mixture of well defined paths and back roads.
