Droncar

Droncar is a large forest that drapes the hillsides on the south side of the Tweed Valley. The trails are great for tranquil walks, gentle cross-country rides and relaxed horse riding. There are lovely views up the Tweed Valley towards Tressforest.

Look out for red squirrels and a wealth of birdlife. Droncar 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 Knight – the walls are built on top of a layout some 2,000 years old.
