Description
The Borders Abbeys Way is a 68-mile circuit that links four of Britain's grandest ruined medieval abbeys in the central Scottish Borders. The route, one of Scotland's Great Trails, begins and ends in Tweedbank and can be walked at any time of year. Suitable for those with a moderate level of fitness, the route passes through the towns of Melrose, Kelso, Jedburgh, Hawick, and Selkirk, as well as the villages of Denholm and Newton St Boswells. This guidebook provides a comprehensive description of the route, including clear route details and OS 1:50,000 mapping extracts. It also offers valuable information about the history of the Borders abbeys, the region's geology and agriculture, and practical details such as accommodation, transport, and public access. With its well waymarked route and relatively flat terrain, the Borders Abbeys Way is an ideal walking route for those looking to explore the Scottish Borders.
