Hopes Reservoir Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

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.

Fallago Rig Wind Farm

Highlight • Other

Fallago Rig Wind Farm, located in the Lammermuir Hills, is typically closed to the public. However, during the annual Scottish Borders Doors Open Days, usually held in early September, the wind farm offers guided tours. These tours provide a unique opportunity to see the turbines up close, visit the control room, and learn about renewable energy operations. Advance booking is essential, and transportation is provided from nearby villages, as private vehicle access is not permitted. For the latest information on tour dates and booking details, check the official EDF Renewables UK website or local event listings.
