As soon as you step out the door you are in the Pentland Hills on the edge of the Scottish Borders yet only 20 minutes from the Edinburgh City by-pass and 45 minutes from Glasgow City centre. The wood is located on the lower slope of the White Hill at the southern end of the Pentlands. The local area provides wonderful walking and cycling opportunities. Surrounded by trees the location of the lodges is perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. A short walk to the top of the White Hill will reward you with views stretching from the hills on Arran and Ben Lomond on Scotland’s west coast to Berwick Law on the east coast. It is a perfect place for viewing the Pentland Hills and the Scottish Border Hills. The wood itself has a number of walking paths through the trees. We try to maintain a few kilometres each year. We can also advise on other local walks with or without dogs or cycling routes of every variety. The nearest village West Linton is about 4 miles away and you can take a walk or cycle to the pub and back. Go out on the right of way that runs to the west of the Mendick hill past some prehistoric archaeology and then return on the right of way to the east along the old Roman road.
