Cavarra Hill is a prominent landmark located in Peeblesshire, a historic county in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland. Rising to a height of approximately 435 meters (1,427 feet), it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain but still offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

Situated near the town of Peebles, Cavarra Hill is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and nature lovers. The hill is easily accessible, with several walking trails leading to its summit. These trails vary in difficulty, catering to both experienced hikers and those seeking a more leisurely stroll.

The hill is predominantly covered in grass and heather, creating a picturesque scene throughout the year. As visitors ascend the hill, they are treated to panoramic vistas of the rolling hills, lush green valleys, and meandering rivers that characterize the Scottish Borders region. On clear days, it is even possible to see as far as the distant peaks of the Southern Uplands.

Cavarra Hill also holds historical significance, with remnants of an Iron Age hillfort located on its summit. These archaeological remains add an additional layer of interest for those exploring the hill.

Overall, Cavarra Hill offers a wonderful opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty of Peeblesshire. With its accessible trails and captivating views, it is a must-visit attraction for anyone seeking to experience the Scottish countryside.

Heathpool Common The dyke separates a heather moor from improved grazing. There is a gate at NT251439 which leads on to the moor.  If travelling with a horse, beware! There is a further gate at NT262443 which is locked. Not too helpful if trying to get into the forest.
