About Caberston
This is a conifer forest with an important broadleaf wood at the Pirn.
An uphill climb takes you on a circuit of Pirn Hill where there is a 2000 year old Iron Age settlement site at the top of the forest walk. This short walk onto the Pirn hillfort gives you some fantastic views of the Tweed valley.
Carved sandstone sculptures by local artist, Mary Kenny depict the interesting history of the town and the hill.
The Tweed Valley Forest Park lies in the main woodland corridor between Peebles and Selkirk and boasts some fabulous visitor attractions.

How to get there:
Caberston is part of Forests of the Scottish Borders. Innerleithen is the nearest town or village.
From Innerleithen High Street (A72), take the B709 (starting at the Bank of Scotland). Parking is on the right hand side, and the access footpath starts a few metres from this car park, entering the forest via the stone bridge.
Horse access is further along the public road and via a natural ford which is accessible only when the river is not in flood.
