    Road cycling

    12th century Abbey that made Kelso a powerful town in the area for hundreds of years. The Abbey was closed in June 2022 due to safety issues so check ahead. It's worth stopping just to have a look at the well preserved ruins from the road. The surface of the road is 'Sett'. which is very mild paving. There is a Komoot surface warning but the road is very ridable on all bike/tyre types.

    One of the four Borders Abbeys. Founded in the 12th Century it was a very powerful abbey given its position on the Tweed. The ruins are well worth checking out.
