Hill

Wether Cairn

Climb up 563m to bag Wether Cairn in The Cheviots.

Wether Cairn Trig Point

Let's get our walking boots on for this one as it's a canny trek to bag Wether Cairn. This hill sits on the east side of Kidland Forest and not only adorns the Wether Cairn trig point, but also has a little cairn on top too. I assume that is where it gets its name from.

As you can see it's a bit boggy up here. To get to the top, park in Alwinton and head north over The Dodd and Puncherton Hill, skirt Kidland Forest and you will arrive at Wether Cairn.

Follow the route above or find it on OS Maps. Around 7km and 442m of climbing.
