Hiking
There's a trig point at the 1,043 feet (318 m) high Drinkstone Hill. This is a grass and pasture hilltop, but do not let that stop you getting here: there are gorgeous views from here across Longmoss Knowe to the distant hills on the horizon. In good sunlight and/or at sunset, the area is breathtaking.

Trig point with good views of Drinkstone hill and out over the Tweed Valley. On a clear day you can see over the border to the Northumberland National Park.
