Sitting in the remote heart of the Cheviots, this rounded Tump offers a quiet escape from the busier Border Ridge. Its grassy slopes rise above the Usway Burn, providing a stark, minimalist landscape. Reaching the summit rewards you with a clear perspective of the massive Russell’s Cairn atop Windy Gyle to the north.

• •The name is rooted in the Old English 'hlāw', a term common across the Cheviots and Southern Uplands used to describe a prominent, rounded hill.
• •The summit serves as a solitary waypoint for those trekking through the upper reaches of the Usway Burn, providing a grandstand view of the deep, V-shaped valleys that define this part of the Northumberland National Park.
• •Its location between the Coquet Valley and the Scottish border means you are likely to share the slopes with more feral goats than fellow walkers.
