Tweed Cycleway
The Tweed Cycleway takes you from Berwick-Upon-Tweed in England to Biggar in Scotland.
The route runs for about 100 miles through the Scottish Borders, passing Melrose, Galashiels, Innerleithen and Peebles before finishing in Biggar in South Lanarkshire. The cycleway follows mainly quiet country lanes with lovely views of the surrounding hills and the River Tweed.
Route highlights include the traffic free section along the Tweed Valley Railway Path. This section runs from Innerleithen to Peebles along an old railway path which closed in the 1960s. You can also access the excellent mountain bike trails and waymarked walks in the expansive Glentress Forest from the route.

Church spires in Galashiels. Viewed from the High Road, this shows in the left foreground, St Andrew's Arts Centre in Bridge Street which was built as St Andrew's Church in 1885. The spire in the centre is at St Aidan's Church in Gala Park, opened in 1880 but closed in 2005. The red sandstone spire behind St Aidan's Church is at Old Parish and St Paul's Church in Scott Crescent which opened in 1881. The 58m spire was finished in 1885 and for the past few years a pair of peregrine falcons have nested here and successfully reared young. The former spire of St Andrew's Church was reduced to a small pyramidal roof, a poor substitute for what was a great spire, and a major loss to the roofscape of the town.
