Cherry Tree

Just outside of Duns before the houses stop on the A6105, turn right before the garage, the track crosses a road known as Cherry Tree. There is a high bank both sides of the road so the bridge was taken down, probably iron by the looks of it. This picture is looking back towards Duns. The map shows the previous post and this one on the right. I think this is a nice fglat walk suitable for all ages and about 1 mile.

On the very left can be seen the vets amongst a group of industiral buildings. on the right can be seen Cherry Tree and where it cuts the railway

Duns

The photo is of the track running East towards Chirnside. The area is now an industrial estate and the track starts just behind a vets. The other side going West towards Greenlaw has bene lost I think, we could not find it all covered with huge warehouses and factories.

Duns Railway

It seems that the track I have been walking is part of the St Boswells to Duns branch line. A web site called Railbrit.co.uk tracks all these lines and I got from them a drawing showing the lines path. This very usefull as using it one can find the old line on Google and see where one can access for walks.

There web site is very good and covers all of Britain.
