Ancrum 주변 최고의 가족 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

For a unique experience at the Waterloo Monument atop Peniel Heugh, consider visiting during the late afternoon. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the Scottish Borders, enhancing the panoramic views from the summit. To access the monument's interior and climb the spiral staircase to the viewing platform, you can borrow a key from the Lothian Estates Office in nearby Bonjedward for a small fee. Remember to check the office's opening hours in advance to ensure availability. [1] https://scotlandstartshere.com/point-of-interest/the-waterloo-monument//

Nisbet Bridge is a distinctive steel truss bridge spanning the River Teviot. These types of bridges were constructed in various spots across the Scottish Borders starting in the 1880s. The Nisbet Bridge, with its relatively lighter construction, hints at an early build date.

This is a lovely place to stop at, including for families with children. There is a café here, activities for children (including crafts), exhibition and four woodland walks. All surrounded by rather lovely countryside, of course! Just note that the centre is open between April and October.

This is the house of the Earls of Ancrum, and previously Earls of Lothian. Originally built in 1740, and then rebuilt and enlarged in 1840. You can access the gardens between April and October. A beautiful place.

The Waterloo Monument on Peniel Heugh was constructed between 1817 and 1824 to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo (1815). The timber cap on top of the Monument was added in 1867. It's a place of historical interest and with beautiful panoramic views.

Great view up there.

Enjoy the wobble!

Monteviot Bridge is an impressive suspension bridge over the River Teviot. The bridge was built in 1999 to replace an earlier bridge swept away in floods. The narrow bridge certainly makes for an interesting crossing.
