Cairn with View of Rolling Hills

Highlight • Natural Monument

There is a gap in the fence just further from here (if you are travelling by bike) rather than going over the style. Just head down from style to see it

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.
