Based in the Scottish Borders, Eildon Ramblers is a friendlywalking group for people of all ages. We offer year-round walks to suit avariety of tastes.
NOTE THAT THIS WALK IS DIFFERENT FROM THAT IN THE TRIFOLD LEAFLET
Circular walk along River Tweed, then walk winds through open woodlands to Traquair village and then gradual ascent of short section of Southern Upland Way. We cut across lower slopes of Taniel Hill with superb views of the Traquair Estate and across to Lee Pen. We descend Taniel Hill on gravel path and return to Innerleithen via Toll Wood. Bring drink & snack for couple stops to admire views. Opportunity to visit local cafe following walk.
