About Priest Hill

This circular walk stretches around Priest Hill and each bend in the path produces another wonderful vista.

How to get there:

Priest Hill can be started from Priesthill Car Park in Newcastleton Forest which is part of Forests of the Scottish Borders. Newcastleton is the nearest town or village.

From Canonbie or Bonchester Bridge, take the B6357, then take the unclassified road at the southern end of Newcastleton village and follow the signs for Dykecrofts.
