About Red Squirrel Walk
Red Squirrel Walk is a small circular route, in which there is every chance of seeing red squirrels scampering around the old Norway spruce trees.
How to get there:
Red Squirrel Walk can be started from Hell's Hole in Hyndlee Forest which is part of Forests of the Scottish Borders. Hawick and Bonchester Bridge & Newcastleton are the nearest towns or villages.
From Hawick, head to Bonchester Bridge on the A6088. Turn right on to the B6357 south towards Newcastleton for approximately two miles.
Hells Hole is the first access point to Hyndlee and is on the right hand side.
