Geocache Description:

Paws For Thought - Strawberries & Cream


Cardrona is a large forest that drapes the hillsides on the south side of the Tweed Valley. There are lovely views up the Tweed Valley towards Glentress. Look out for red squirrels and a wealth of birdlife. Cardrona Tower, built in the 1500s, is now a ruin – but bats think it’s an ideal home. Don’t miss the site of the Iron Age fort at Castle Knowe – the walls are built on top of a layout some 2,000 years old.

From the centre of Peebles take the B7062, signposted for Cardrona and Traquair, and head east for about 2 ¾ miles (4.4 km). The entrance to Cardrona forest is on the right, at grid reference NT 292 385. Car parking, Please note, parking charges are as follows: * £1 for up to 1 hour * £3 for all day * £12 for minibus and coach all day
