Walking & Cycling

Think of the Borders and think of big spaces, rolling green hills, miles of forests,  woodlands, lochs and rivers.

Explore the Borders with an open mind and you will be astonished at the beauty to be discovered.  There is an extensive network of easily accessible short walks and cycle routes that often lead to interesting places such as a ruined castle or abbey or with modest effort an outstanding viewpoint.

For those looking for bigger challenges there are plenty of long walks and award winning mountain biking trails and downhill race courses.

From coastal parks, to walks through the history of the Border abbeys to paths following literary footsteps and pilgrims of old.  There is much to do and see.

Just up the road from the hotel, the Sutherland family farm offers a variety of interesting walks where conservation is at the heart of farming practice.  We are delighted to provide you with maps to follow and books to read of nearby walking and cycling trails
