Description

Follow St Cuthbert's Way from Melrose Abbey to Lindisfarne Island, a 63-mile walk through Scotland and England.

This easy-going trail takes you alongside the River Tweed, past castles, hill forts, and historic ruins, before crossing into England on high ground. The route includes a section of Roman road and offers stunning views from Wideopen Hill, its summit at 369m. The final stretch leads to Lindisfarne Island, with its priory and castle.

The guidebook has been thoroughly revised for the second edition in 2023, featuring custom mapping and post-Covid updates. It's a fully waymarked route with modest gradients, welcoming B&Bs and pubs at regular intervals, making it an ideal choice for those looking to complete the walk within 5 or 6 days.
