Caberston
This is a conifer forest with an important broadleaf wood at the Pirn.
An uphill climb takes you on a circuit of Pirn Hill where there is a 2000 year old Iron Age settlement site at the top of the forest walk. Carved sandstone sculptures by local artist, Mary Kenny depict the interesting history of the town and the hill.
How to get there:
Caberston is part of Forests of the Scottish Borders. Innerleithen is the nearest town or village.
From Innerleithen High Street (A72) take the B709 (starting at the Bank of Scotland). Parking is on the right hand side and the access footpath starts a few metres from this car park and enters the forest via the stone bridge.
Foot access only on this footpath - Horse access is further along the public road and via a natural ford which is accessible only when the river is not in flood.
Another horse access point is found beyond the Innerleithen Golf Course Club house. Follow the B709 along for another mile.
