A circular walking holiday through the heart of Scotland's border towns, visiting the ruins of four great abbeys.
From £340 per person
The Borders Abbeys Way is a brilliant self-guided walking holiday through the rounded green hills, wooded riverbanks, pine forests and rich farmland of the Scottish Borders, touring between four great ruined monasteries. Each has its own distinct character waiting to be discovered: the vast abbey church at Jedburgh, the outstanding detail of every carving at Melrose, the domestic architecture of Dryburgh and the Romanesque style of the remaining tower of the formidable Kelso Abbey.
As well as the four iconic abbeys, the Borders Abbeys Way has much to offer. Explore a wide range of castles and outstanding viewpoints over the surrounding hills and the glittering Tweed. This is the perfect circular walking holiday through a beautiful area studded with historic gems.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
