This is a lovely walk following the River Tyne along an informal path for about a mile and three-quarters (2.8 km). After leaving East Linton and passing under the road bridge it is almost like entering another world. The river flows down a tranquil valley isolated from the surrounding farmland and roads. Ducks, herons and dippers are usually on the river and fish are often spotted in the pools.

The path can become a little muddy after wet weather and there are some steps and steep inclines so stout footwear is recommended.

From East Linton's village square turn right along Station Road towards Haddington. About fifty yards after passing under the railway bridge look for a green "Public Path" sign directing you left down a narrow road. At the bottom of this road the path turns right along the river.

To make this into a circular walk, it is possible to return to East Linton along the quiet back road from Hailes Castle. Alternatively, if you are feeling energetic, you can continue along the right of way opposite Hailes Castle and up to Traprain Law. This is a bit of a climb and involves walking along a section of road. It also doubles the length of the walk but it is worth while for the fine views of East Lothian from the top of Traprain.

Hailes Castle was originally built in the 13th century and has had many additions since, but is now in ruins. It is now under the care of Historic Scotland and is open all year round to the public. There are interpretation panels at the bottom of Traprain Law that explain the fascinating history of this volcanic remnant.
