The Cheviot is a broad plateau summit on the English side of the Scottish border. The usual route starts from Langleeford in the Harthope valley and climbs steadily through grass and heather. The top can be boggy, so pick a dry spell.

Good to know

  • Set off early; allow 4 to 5 hours
  • The summit is wet; gaiters help
  • Pin shown is the summit; the trailhead is at Langleeford
