Wandering down the road that leads to Rulewater, you will pass over a quaint country bridge leading you into the village of Bonchester Bridge. Bonchester has at least three bridges spanning the river Rule.

Here you will find the Horse and Hound a favourite stop for bikers for a light refreshment over the Border. Its a lovely pub to sit outside in the summer months, I've seen a couple of spectacular sunsets shining over the village sitting here, and it offers good accommodation and food.

John Fallas, Engineers, Blacksmiths and Country Store has been in Bonchster since 1911.  It offers repairs service, sales of parts and machinery as well as countryside work wear.  You can even get married over the Anvil here!

William Laidlaw Memorial Hall is the village hall, hosting regular events and is available for hire.  It has ramped access, good kitchen facilities for catering, stage area and a sound system. My favourites include the annual village picnic, featuring the Scarecrow Festival and tug-of-war competition, resplendent with the sound of local bands playing. Facebook page and Website links.
