Burnmouth Circular and Chester Hill Fort

Walking

Partly following the Berwickshire Coastal Path go and explore this fantastic section of the Berwickshire Coastline and Chester Hill Fort.

You will pass the sculptured rock formation known as Fancove Head and the row of fishermen’s cottages at Partanhall, couched below a high cliff. It is worth walking the extra distance to look out from Chester Hill Fort.

Burnmouth lies 3 miles south of Eyemouth along the coast.
