Scottish Borders Walking Festival

Posted on Wednesday, 09 June 2010 09:35AM by Ronnie

The Scottish Borders Walking Festival will take place in Peebles, in the heart of the Tweed Valley.

Boasting some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Scotland, the Tweed Valley is less than an hour’s drive south of Edinburgh and only a couple of hours north of Newcastle, but a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The Scottish Borders Walking Festival - the longest established walking festival in Scotland - is a 9-day festival of walks and a full programme of social events, to suit all ages and abilities.

Allow our friendly and knowledgeable walk leaders to guide you through the unspoilt scenery of the Tweed Valley, exploring the delightful towns of Peebles, Innerleithen, West Linton, Walkerburn and Selkirk.

For full details of walks and events, please visit www.borderswalking.com or call 01835 863170 to order a programme.

Invite a friend from another county. With its purple hills and lush valleys, the Tweed Valley is a fantastic walking destination - a real hidden gem.

In an attempt to put the area on the national walking map, we are hoping to attract a walker from every county in the UK to take part in this year’s Festival.

If you have walking friends in other counties (or indeed other countries) why not invite them along and use this year’s Festival as the perfect opportunity to meet up?
