The ‘carrs’ are lands which used to flood and were used as seasonal pastures: now they’ve been drained, and the area is criss-crossed with dykes and other waterways. Mid-way round the circuit is the wildlife haven of wetlands, ponds and marshes at Tophill Low Nature Reserve, bordered by a long bridleway. Much of the route is over private land which is not normally accessible, including a couple of optional jumps, and there will be two route options of around 8 and 11 miles. The entry fee includes a BBQ lunch from the Duggleby’s homereared Belted Galloway beef and rare-breed lamb.
