Yetholm Village

Highlight • Settlement

The picturesque settlement of Yetholm straddles Bowmont Water. Composed of two small villages, Town Yetholm and Kirk Yetholm, it is famous for being home to the kings and queens of the Scottish gypsies from the 16th century. The former ‘Gypsy Palace’ is off Kirk Yetholm Green. Within Yetholm, you find accommodation, places for food and drink and a village shop, making it a good place for a pit-stop or an overnight stay.

River Crossing Near Jed Water

Highlight • River

I was tired towards the end of this trail, mainly because I have a bad flu bug and my eergy levels are not so good. Thankfully this last section had a firm enough surface to ride on, without it being a drag

Cheviot Hills Path

Highlight • Viewpoint

The views of the Cheviot hills from the north within Scotland seems to give a more rugged appearance than from in Northumberland. I wasn't sure where these tracks would lead to, thankfully it is not as bad as it potentially looks

Jacob Sheep at Mellerstain House

Highlight • Historical Site

The goat seemed to be content to stand there and make noises at me, so I done the same back. These goats look different to normal goats, bigger and more colourful. There are about 6 of them in the field

Gypsy Palace, Kirk Yetholm

Highlight • Settlement

This unassuming cottage was once the Gypsy Palace, famous around the world as the residence of Queen Esther and her son and heir, King Charles Faa Blythe. These days, Gypsy Place is a self-catering holiday cottage, perfectly placed at the end of the Pennine Way National Trail in the picturesque village of Kirk Yetholm.
