St Cuthbert's Way follows the story of a 7th century saint who travelled through Scotland and northern England, spreading the Gospel and performing healing miracles. Beginning at Melrose, where the saint started his ministry, and ending at Holy Island, where he ended his days, the trail passes through scenery of great variety and beauty.
The walk takes in heather-clad hills, tranquil riverbanks and old Roman roads, visiting attractive villages and border towns along the way. Particular sites of interest include the ruin of Dryburgh Abbey, Cessford Castle, St Cuthbert's Cave and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, complete with its ruined abbey and spectacular castle.
Exploring the attractive borders towns of Melrose, Bowden and Jedburgh.
Admiring far-reaching views over the border country from the slopes of the Eildon Hills.
Spending the night on the tranquil Holy Island, with its 16th century Lindisfarne Castle and Priory, home to the Lindisfarne Gospels.

I will not hesitate to recommend your organisation to fellow walkers.”Mrs Hallows, UK

“It was beautiful countryside, we had good weather and the places we stayed were very comfortable and friendly.”Ms Hunt, UK
“Though relatively short this was a superb walk through quiet countryside, a mix of hill walking as well as riverside paths, woodland walks and tracks crossing farmland. Highly recommended. It helped that the weather was fine, sunny and (especially on the last two days) hot. This was our 7th walk with Contours.”Mr Gill, UK
