A beautiful walk via the waterfall on College Burn
Our Hethpool Linn and Yeavering Bell walk is a great way to visit the beautiful waterfall on the College Burn, then up to the summit of Yeavering Bell, also known as a the Hill of the Goats.
See if you can spot the wild Cheviot goats roaming the surrounding hills; they can usually be seen near to Yeavering Bell. Please keep dogs on a lead when in the vicinity of the goats and other livestock. These goats live a totally wild existence, they are shaggy coated and long horned and are hardier than modern breeds.
You may also see hares lying low in the long grass as you walk up the hillside. Kestrel are often hovering overhead whilst buzzard circle high in the sky. Skylark, curlew and lapwing can all be heard and can be seen flying over the hills. Gorse covers the sunny slopes of many hills in this area for most of the year. Its bright yellow flowers smell of coconut.
