Tewsgill Hill (Abington)

 18 March 2024

Where: Tewsgill Hill, 569m/1,867', P 106m, Tump, OS 72, NS 961 238

A fine early spring day. I parked at the Raggengill Burn on the opposite side of the railway from the houses at Abington where there was space for a few cars and took the route of the old Roman Road. It was a nice walk through the glen of the Raggengill burn with views back to Abington.....

After a time and passing its west top Tewsgill Hill came into view (distant).....

I left the Roman Road where it took a right turn and followed one of a number of sheep and faint ATV tracks up the slopes of Tewsgill Hill roughly paralleling a fine stone wall which went all the way from where I left the car to the summit (and beyond by the looks of things).....

Looking back to Raggengill Hill with the Lowther Hills distant from the slopes of Tewsgill Hill.....

Abington from the slopes of Tewsgill Hill.....

It was a longer walk up the hill slopes than it looked from a distance but eventually the trig came into view with the turbines of the Clyde wind farm beyond.....

It was a bit breezy at the summit; Camps reservoir in the distance.....

Looking east to the Culter hills.....

Looking to Tinto.....

South over Crawford, Lowther Hill with a cloud top.....

Descent was mainly by the same route. Fine and easy walking country.
