Far Hill

A grassy summit in the Manor Hills, rising to 528 metres above the Southern Uplands landscape south of Peebles. The hill sits within a quiet ridge system that sees far fewer visitors than the neighbouring Tweedsmuir peaks, offering straightforward walking on moorland terrain with extensive views across the Borders hill country.

• •The name 'Far Hill' likely derives from its position at the distant end of the Manor valley system when viewed from Peebles, a simple descriptive English name typical of Border hills rather than the Gaelic nomenclature found further north.
• •Far Hill is part of the Manor Hills group, which forms a substantial upland area between the valleys of Manor Water and Megget Water, often walked in combination with nearby Pykestone Hill and Glenrath Heights.
• •Despite its modest height, the summit provides wide-ranging views across the Southern Uplands, with Black Law and the Culter Fells visible to the northwest and the Moffat Hills rising to the southwest.
