Journeys on foot

Morebattle is situated right on the St. Cuthbert's Way (a popular long distance walking route). There are many wonderful areas to explore around Morebattle.

Being on the north-western edge of the Cheviots means the landscape becomes increasingly hilly as you head south. Many of these hills are topped off by traces of settlements and forts, including Morebattle Hill, immediately to the south of the village.
