Walks
Melrose is an excellent centre for walking whose main features are the Eildon Hills and River Tweed. However there
are many other local places to explore and these circular waymarked paths will help you discover more about this
beautiful part of the Borders.
In addition there are short local walks exploring the town, its many historical connections and the riverside.
Apart from these local walks Melrose is situated at the hub of several long distance paths either passing through
or starting / ending in the town. Many of these routes are now known and marketed as ‘Scotland's Great
Trails’.
These routes offer the walker the chance to enjoy a day or part day walk with the opportunity to get back to Melrose
at the end of the walk by means of local public transport links.
The website is currently being updated. While this is happening it is still possible to acquire copies of
the Melrose Paths Booklet. This can be purchased on-line.
