About Craigieburn Forest

Spreading up the valley side from Moffat Water, Craigieburn Forest offers a fairly short walk involving quite a steep climb.

This walk takes you up to a viewpoint where vistas unfold towards the town of Moffat, famous for its wool and toffee. A small car park and picnic area can be found at the start of the walks, on the A708 Moffat to Selkirk road, approximately 3 miles from Moffat

 

How to get there:

Craigieburn Forest is part of Forests of the Southern Uplands. Moffat is the nearest town or village.

Follow the A708, from Moffat to Selkirk road. The car park is signposted three miles out of Moffat.

The nearest train station is in Lockerbie.
