Our favourite Peebles walks
A copy of the 'Paths around Peebles and The John Buchan Way' booklet can be found in the ‘Information for Guests’ book but I’d also be happy to send you the link via email or text mesage.
This booklet includes 9 routes starting from Peebles, two routes starting from Eddleston and routes in Cardrona Forest. The area is ideal for walking because the town is surrounded by rolling hills, includes areas of extensive woodland and offers gentle walks along the banks of the River Tweed.
The routes described range from short strolls to more strenuous hill climbs. Each route has a summary containing distance, estimated time to complete, start and finish points and an indication of the terrain to be expected.
These walks vary in length to cater for all levels of fitness and weather!!
