Overview

This walk differs from that shown in the Trifold Leaflet.

 

This is a circular walk which will be done at a leisurely pace exploring Lauder Common. Starting from the Stow/Lauder Road, we will follow the Whitelaw road (a path not a road) before heading towards Lauder, crossing the water there before heading back over the Common to the start. The views are great. There are some short steep climbs.
