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 moderately low level walk through woodland and forest paths which can be muddy and rough in places .
From the cafe we take path through Phillipshaugh Estate to Bowhill Estate. Walk up the quiet road to Newark Castle . Return by the Lady’s walk which follows an attractively wooded stretch of the Yarrow Water. Leave Bowhill and take path past the Covenanters Memorial. Cross the road, onto the path that takes us to the meeting of the waters, past the salmon leap back to start.
Circular walk, grade C, at a leisurely pace. Hiking boots and poles are recommended.
