Single-Track Road to Hopes Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Lovely single-track road to Hopes Reservoir.

Tip by

11.8 km

Good well-graded gravel track up from Hopes Reservoir. One ford that's rideable in summer. A couple of steep bits, but generally an OK gradient past the reservoir, through a little valley and up to the top of the moor.

Crib Law Summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is where the Capital Trail passes closeby to the summit of Crib Law at 1670 feet (509 meters) in the Lammermuir Hills.

On a clear day, expect spectacular views over the moorland and be sure to visit in late summer or early autumn for great swathes of purple heather.
