Great little trail although hard to follow around a quarry. Nice wild camping options above the border.
Bolam Lake and Shaftoe Crags Loop

Lovely walk and excellent views from Shaftoe Craggs and an easy route to follow. Mainly dog friendly, although there are sections on the road and through farmers fields where they will need to be kept on a lead.
