Access

You can visit the King o' the Wood from Jedburgh. There is a large car park at the south side of the town, on the right hand side if you are approaching from the north. From here walk south on the pavement along the A68. About 1.5 km along (just after the white bridge) the Capon Tree is on the right hand side. King o' the Wood is in the woodland opposite the Capon Tree. Enter the field on the other side of the A68 over the style, cross the field and walk up the track on the other side. King o' the Wood is at the top of the track.
