Chester Hill Cairn

Highlight • Summit

Chester Hill, just outside the town of Lauder, is on the Souther Upland Way long-distance trail. There is a cairn on top (cairns are always good to rest your backpack against), and the spot offer wonderful views over Lauderdale.

Lauder Burn Wooden Bridge

Highlight • River

A very distinctive Old Red Sandstone path (indicating the geology of this area) leads down here to the picturesque bridge over Lauder Burn. Great views of Woodheads Hill from here, too.
