Based in the Scottish Borders, Eildon Ramblers is a friendlywalking group for people of all ages. We offer year-round walks to suit avariety of tastes.
This circular walk offers plentiful parking on the road that goes into St Boswells. We walk alongside the south bank of the Tweed on St Cuthbert’s way, fringing the Golf course and watching out for errant golf balls, to Mertoun bridge. We cross this carefully because of fast traffic. We then join the Borders Abbey Way to walk upstream on the north bank of the Tweed, past Dryburgh Abbey to the Dryburgh Suspension Bridge. We then re-join St Cuthbert’s way to climb up through the woods back to St Boswells. We have one mile on quiet roads, but otherwise on good paths, though these can be very slippery, and we have two stiles and a lot of tree roots to trip us up.
Grade: C. Boots and poles are recommended.
Walk leader: Simon
Estimated duration: about 3 hours including a break for mince pies and good cheer.
Also welcome on this walk are members of other Ramblers groups and potential new members who want to sample a walk. You may register your interest in the walk by contacting walks@eildonramblers.org.uk leaving your name and mobile telephone no. The walk leader will contact you.
