Overview

This is a 4 mile circular walk from Manor Bridge, following the footpath along the disused railway to the sheltered little Hamlet of Lyne where a footpath leads to a crossing over the Tweed. It then joins a driveway to Barns House, passing the 16th Century Barns Tower. The final part of the walk is along the riverside path which leads back to the startpoint.
