Bowsden West Trig Point

This is the Bowsden West trig point (103m) near Ford And Etal.

This trig point sits in a little hedge on the outskirts of a field of Bowsden West Farm. It's a very easy bagging as there is a big layby at the entrance to the farm and then a permissive path all the way to the trig point.

Once past the farm the views open up to the coast on the right hand side whilst if you look south you can see the Cheviots.

Head past the farm and you end up on a bridleway lane with hedge either side. Just before the trig there is a gate and if you pass through, then the trig is immediately on your left just in the hedge.

It's nice of the farmer to have the gate so you can pass through the hedge. There are far reaching views across the border, but the views to the Cheviots are obscured somewhat by the hedge!

Just follow this map, or find it on OS Maps. Only 500m and 22m ascent.
