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.

A high walk over tracks and grassland with a couple of short sections on farm roads. We leave Hethpool on St Cuthbert's Way, heading on grassy tracks around the cultivation terraces. We climb steadily up over Laddie's Knowe and follow the tracks up to Ring Chesters hillfort. We then head towards Eccles Cairn and on to Wideopen Head. It's downhill now to Trowupburn before a sharp uphill to Great Hetha. We then head steeply down and follow the valley road back to the carpark.
As with all hill walks there may be livestock.
Bring: Food and drink for two stops and full hill walking gear please.

Please note that the walk starts in northern Northumberland, and there is no public transport. It may be possible to organise carsharing.
From Kelso, take the back road to Wooler via Westnewton. At Westnewton, a small signpost to the right shows "Hethpool". There is a small car park just over a mile down the road, at the end of the public road.
