We don't yet have a survey for the Clovenfords Turnpike, so would very much like to hear from anyone who has used this historic route.

Heritage Information

The Clovenfords Turnpike can be clearly seen on the OS second edition 6" mapping, taking a higher line through the valley of the Caddon Water than the present road. It is locally known as the Green Road.
