Overview

Join us for a circular walk on a mixture of paths, tracks and minor roads. We walk past the Borders General Hospital into Rhymer’s Glen, round Cauldshiel Loch and then join the Borders Abbey Way. We continue by crossing a road through woodlands down towards the River Tweed on the Borders Abbey Way returning to Melrose.
