Crib Law


(Average user rating5 unrated 5/5)

About Crib Law

For a more strenuous walk follow the Crib Law Trail. A lovely walk alongside the Aithouse Burn and then climbing steadily to Crib Law. Watch the stupendous views over the rolling landscape unfold as you go.

How to get there:

Crib Law can be started from Craik Car Park in Craik which is part of Forests of the Scottish Borders. Hawick is the nearest town or village.

From Hawick, follow the A7 towards Carlisle.

At Martins Bridge, turn onto the B711 and follow this road until you come to Roberton, which is a very small village and school. Just beyond the school, turn down to the left and then follow the unclassified single track road. Craik Forest is well sign posted.
