About Drove Road
The Drove Road Trail follows the footsteps of the cattle and sheep drovers who plied their trade between the grazing pastures of Scotland and the markets of England.
The Dirthope Burn is crossed at the ford - if the burn is in spate, please take care.
How to get there:
Drove Road 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.
