Great Walks St Cuthberts Way

The St. Cuthbert's Way is a 62.5 miles (100 km) long distance route linking the Southern Upland Way and the Pennine Way with the Northumberland Coast. Established only in 1996, this cross border walk starts in the lovely border town of Melrose and ends on Holy Island, taking in many historic sights on route.

From the start at the gates of Melrose Abbey, the walk winds its way over the Eildon Hills, passing by the rivers Teviot and Tweed before climbing over the rolling Cheviots to cross the Scottish / English border into Northumberland.

The St. Cuthbert's Way can offer Youth Hostels, B&Bs, Inns, Guest Houses and Hotels. However, it should be noted that not all types are available at each stage.
