There is not a huge amount at Hethersgill, a place whose economy has been traditionally fuelled by peat extraction. You can stop for a pint at the Black Lion pub, which belongs to the same folk who run the Drove Inn at Stapleton, near Hethersgill.

Route: From Hethersgill follow signs to Boltonfellend and head left to Kirklinton. Here you are on the river Lyne, not far from Longtown. There are lots of tiny communities dotted around here.
