Overview

The walk starts at the car park at Abbotsford House. Our route follows a good path down to the A6091 which is crossed with care. Then along the Solway woodland trail to the industrial estate. We walk through the estate to the Tweed riverbank which is followed via the chain link suspension bridge into Melrose. The return route goes back to the start point at Abbotsford following the riverbank all the way.
