Tweed 25 Walks from Source to Sea Guidebook

by: K R Fergus
One of the world's great salmon rivers, the Tweed cuts through the heart of the Scottish Borders and, in part, forms the historic boundary between Scotland and England. Rising in the rolling hills near Moffat, it weaves through a cherished landscape on its way to Berwick-upon-Tweed and the North Sea, passing through the proud Border towns of Peebles, Galashiels, Melrose, Kelso and Coldstream on the way.

There is no better way to discover the wildlife, architecture and history of this area of Scotland than to walk. Whatever your ability, walking at high or low level, following tough terrain or level paths, the 25 routes in this guide offer something for everyone. Each walk entry begins with distance, time, terrain, public transport details and OS map references together with an outline of the walk area. This is followed by route finding instructions and a simple colour overview sketch map. Colour photographs are also included throughout, giving the book an attractive page layout and the pocket size is ideal on the trail.

The walk locations include: Annanhead; Drumelzier; Broughton Heights; Cademuir Hill; Peebles; Glensax; Preston Law; Yarrowford; Philiphaugh; Galashiels; Melrose; Eildon Hills; Newtown St Boswells; Smailholm; Kelso; Norham; Hirsel Country Park; Coldstream; Berwick-upon-Tweed.
