Running through luscious rolling hills blanketed by green hedge-lined fields, the Old Peel Road is a stunning stretch of the Coast and Castles route.

The road follows the River Tweed from Innerleithen, past Walkerburn, carving around Ashiesteel Hill, South Height, Elibank Law and the Plora Rig hills. The views are simply fantastic here.

Lovely quiet route, often with a tailwind if traveling West to East. Great autumn colours.
