A fire-break in the Wauchope Forest, Roxburghshire

Wauchope Forest Wauchope Forest is a large, planted forest in Roxburghshire, overspreading the northern fells of the Cheviot Hills at the head of Liddesdale – the Liddel Water rises at the edge of the forest. It is the source too of the Rule Water and of the Jed Water and many lesser waters. The forest is to be found to the south of Hawick, spreading either side of the B6357. To the south, across the Cheviot ridge that marks the Northumberland border, is the Kielder Forest, the woodland having no break between the two. The forest is a dense, mixed woodland with a delight of wildlife, including deer, red squirrels and goshawks. (Read more)
