This is the trig point for Dour Hill (415m) near Byrness.
Height - 0m // Bracket - // Postcode -
This is the trig point sitting on top of Dour Hill (415m) just on the outskirts of the Otterburn Ranges near Byrness.
From the parking area just head through the gate and follow the quad bike track to the cairn. There is a permissive path up to this further east, but means walking on the road for a bit.
Once at the cairn, just follow the edge of the forest all the way to the trig point. Around 2.5km to get there with 182m ascent.
Please note this is on the Otterburn Ranges, so visit on a non-firing day.
Just follow this map, or find it on OS Maps.

Thanks for checking out this place on the Fabulous North! I do enjoy a wander out in to the countryside trying to find hidden gems that not many people know about. You can't beat a rogue pele tower up a remote hill, a mysterious stone circle or a stunning waterfall secluded in a forest.
