A walking holiday in the footsteps of pilgrims, from North Berwick to Holy Island.
From £530 per person
From beneath the square tower of St Andrews Church in North Berwick, the Forth to Farne Way departs on a largely coastal route through landscapes shaped partly by the sea, partly by old squabbles over the border territories between Scotland and England. Here, ruined and surviving castles rise from steep sea cliffs, presiding over sandy beaches and busy bird colonies. The trail initially cuts south through the East Lothian countryside, but soon joins the coast and follows a leg of the John Muir Way and later the Berwickshire Coastal Path as it winds its way south toward its conclusion at Holy Island.
The Forth to Farne Way hosts a special spiritual element. It follows in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims, visiting holy wells, ancient churches and two monasteries: Scotland’s most important Benedictine monastery, Coldingham Priory, and the famous Lindisfarne Priory, accessed across the causeway to Holy Island.
From £530 per person
Explore the coastal central section of the Forth to Farne Way. This walking holiday along the Berwickshire Coastal Path visits ruined castles and forts, medieval villages and historic harbours. The path clambers to the headland of St Abb’s Head Nature Reserve, home to thousands of seabirds and wide-ranging views along the coast and out to sea. Clifftop hiking brings the trail into England and the sixteenth-century walled town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, full of lively pubs and restaurants.
