Turn left out of the car park. When the road through Alwinton bends right, bear left across the grass to cross a footbridge. Turn left along the lane – signposted Clennell Street – and then, when the asphalt ends, keep straight ahead on the rising track. This is Clennell Street.

Clennell Street, referred to as the ‘great road of Yarnspeth’ in medieval documents, is an ancient route that used to be one of the most important routes for drovers moving cattle from Scotland to markets in England. It crosses the border on the main, windswept ridge of the Cheviot Hills, just northeast of Windy Gyle, at nearly 550m above sea level.
