Walking

The St Cuthberts Way and the Borders Abbeys Way both run through Jedburgh. The St Cuthberts is celebrating its 10th anniversary and is becoming very popular judging by the numbers of visitors we're getting who are walking it. It's not difficult to see why this is - it's a manageable length, has some lovely scenery and there is usually somewhere to stay at the end of each stage. Here for example:-)

The Borders Abbeys Way was officially opened this year and we're starting to get bookings for people who are walking it. It's a bit contrived in places - it goes to Hawick which doesn't have an abbey - but again it's short stages, nice scenery and convenient places to stay at the end. Here for example:-))

Of last night's guests, six were walkers, four were holidaymakers passing through and two were the now obligatory Italians. And, yes - they had huge suitcases.
