Walking Route

Eyemouth Fort and Harbour

Walking

A short circular from the town out to the striking coastline of Killiedraught Bay. Although this is a short walk you will take in part of the old and new parts of Eyemouth town, an attractive section of the coastline and a stroll along the Bantry.

Start at Eyemouth Museum and follow the quayside left at the Fishermen’s Mission heading for the promenade (Bantry).

Follow the Bantry, not quite as far as the swimming pool, and turn right across a short section of beach following the sign pointing up a flight of steps to the caravan park in the distance.

Explore the earthworks of the fort and see the 19th century cannons on the head.

Follow the path round to Killiedraught Bay enjoying views of St Abbs Head in the distance.

Turn left at the fingerpost following a track through the park to a pavement, or take a walk down the grassy path to Killiedraught Bay.

On the pavement, turn left at the road junction making your way back to the High Street.
