About Trailquest Historic Cycle Trail - Green Hill
Orienteering on a bicycle! Pick up a leaflet and see if you can follow the trail. The checkpoints will keep you on the right track and at the same time give you an insight into the lives of the prehistoric inhabitants of Glentress.
This is a more challenging route than the Blue grade route in terms of distance and therefore fitness required. Travelling to Green Hill you follow a hunter from three thousand years ago.
The route starts at the Buzzard's Nest car park - follow the signs from the Red Squirrel.
How to get there:
Trailquest Historic Cycle Trail - Green Hill can be started from Red Squirrel Car Park in Glentress Forest which is part of Forests of the Scottish Borders. Peebles is the nearest town or village.
The car park is one and a half miles east of Peebles on the A72
Follow the signs to the Red Squirrel car park.
