Location Info
Kershope B is a defined section of Kershope Forest on the Scotland–England border, forming part of a large commercial forestry estate managed for timber production and outdoor recreation. The area consists mainly of conifer plantation set across rolling upland ground, with long internal forestry tracks connecting different compartments of the woodland.
Terrain is gently to moderately undulating, characteristic of the Border Forest region. Surfaces are predominantly firm forestry aggregate, designed for year-round vehicle access, with occasional natural earth or softer sections depending on current forestry operations and weather conditions.
