4 Abbeys Route
The 4 Abbeys is a circular route linking the four main abbeys in the Scottish Borders at Melrose, Dryburgh, Kelso and Jedburgh.
The route follows mainly quiet roads, although short stretches on ‘A‘ roads are unavoidable, a scenic route that takes in many historic interest points in the region either on the route or close by. The route is moderate with a couple of steep but fairly short hills. It is normally tackled in a clockwise direction, but can be done either way. If required overnight stops can be made in Melrose, St Boswells, Kelso or Jedburgh and the route can be started or finished from these locations.
Please allow at least 7 hours 45 minutes to complete it, excluding the time taken to enjoy the destinations along the way.
Kelso - Kirk Yetholm - Morebattle - Kelso
This route is around 30 miles and takes you through some of the most beautiful countryside in the Scottish Borders. The Border Hotel in Kirk Yetholm serves both lunch and dinner.
