Circular around Pencaitland, mostly on disused railway paths, through wooded areas, some pavement walking. If weather is wet there shall be some muddy paths.

Maximum number 24.

Directions for travel: 

Take the bypass A720 signed Berwick. After Sheriffhall, take A68 to Jedburgh then turn left onto A6093 Haddington.

Exactly on the PENCAITLAND Sign is the Maltings.  We turn directly right as if entering the Maltings gate BUT we are going up a dirt track Between the Maltings entrance and Terraced Houses.  It is a bit rough at the beginning but there is a proper car park at the top. This is where the walk starts.

Please WhatsApp or text the leader if you would like to book a place on this walk with your name and mobile telephone number, and advise if you have a medical condition relevant to your walking.

Please let the Leader know if you are travelling independently, also if you are happy to drive walkers from Currie.

We regret that no dogs are allowed on our walks.
