A land of passage

The Cheviot Hills and the border ridge have been crossed by people from the earliest times and the roads used by cattle drovers and pedlars, soldiers and ‘reivers’ – fighting men, thieves and cattle rustlers – from both sides of the border.

Three ancient track-ways cross into Scotland, Dere Street, The Street and Clennel Street. The Pennine Way follows the border ridge and gives you wide, panoramic views deep into Scotland. The Open Access Area is also crossed by footpaths and bridle-ways which link with these ancient routes.

The military roads open when the red flags are down are great for exploring by road bike and the roadsides have been cleared for horse-riding.

Selected routes as downloads below take you deep into the wild spirit of this remote frontier land.

Always download the guidance notes with your choice of route remember it is a military training area!
