Melrose and the Eildon Hills

Saturday 27 February 2010

Distance: 9 miles

Grading: Moderate

An extraordinarily varied walk in the heart of the Tweed Valley, so beloved of Sir Walter Scott.   We walk up river along the River Tweed to Abbotsford House, a Scottish baronial mansion and home of Scott.  We climb through fields to Cauldhiels Hill (329 metres) and visit an Iron Age Hill Fort.

 We can expect some stunning views of the Eildon Hills.  Our descent to Melrose takes us by atmospheric Rhymer’s Glen

We have tea at Marmions tearoom in Melrose.
