The view from here is beautiful. You can see so much. There are a few benches also, plenty space. Super easy to access with a good amount of parking spots. There are picnic tables so you can enjoy your lunch break with a view.

Stunning view
Oct 2021
It's worth the trip along this country lane to see this stunning view northwards across the Borders landscape of Tweed Valley and Eildon Hills. On the same lane, it's also worth stopping at the car park for the William Wallace statue, which is a couple of minutes' walk away and provides another beautiful vista.

Spectacular views over the hills towards Melrose and beyond . In the distance the Cheviots make an impressive sight . A place to linger and enjoy the view . There's a helpful plaque which tells you what you are seeing .

Fantastic view and plenty of parking with benches to enjoy the view. Road there is a bit windy and hilly so drive carefully.

Very lucky to live very near to this viewpoint in the beautiful Scottish Borders. The view at all times of the year is stunning. Parking and seating areas available. Tranquil and peaceful looking over towards the Eildons. Take time out if your trip to visit.
