The River Tweed from Wark Castle. The castle was reinforced in 1600 for fear of the Scots, but troops sent there in 1633 said that it was beyond repair.

The River Tweed at Wark. Fishermen ford the river here,and at another spot a mile downstream to this day. This is where the King's cavalry, including Fairfax's Dragoons, crossed on that very hot day in 1639.

 Twizel, The Cavalry were stationed here, where the River Till joins the Tweed. This castle was built in 1770, but it may contain the ruins of William Selby's house. The alternative is another Twizel about ten miles to the south. In either case, it is likely that the young Thomas Fairfax would have visited his sister, Eleanor here.
