アッパーツイードデールのおすすめライド

Good cycle way

Great place to have a pit stop and refuel, very friendly, they have a wide variety of food and cater for people with food allergies, vegan and vegetarian options available.

Friendly cafe with some space outside where a bike can be locked up.

Great coffee and scone, which kept me going.

THE BEAR GATES OF THE Traquair House—Scotland’s oldest continually inhabited house—have been locked since 1745 on the instruction they remain closed until the Stuart Dynasty returns to the throne. We may be waiting a long time. The last direct male descendent of the Stuart Kings died in 1807, so it doesn’t look like the “Steekit Yetts” (that’s Scots for “stuck gates”) will be unstuck any time soon. All entrants to the fortified 12th-century house, from tourists visiting its microbrewery to the current 21st Laird (Lord) of Traquair, have to use the side entrance.

The castle was built around 1233 and has a long history. Nowadays, Neidpath Castle belongs to the Earl of Wemyss. The Earl’s heir takes his courtesy title, Lord Neidpath, from it. The castle now offers private tours, lunches, and teas to visitors, in the Great Hall all year round, by appointment only.

Great new shared use bike path connecting Eddleston to Peebles.

A stunning viewing point to see Ven Law and the plantations of Glentress. Picnic tables are available and there is an entrance to South Park wood.
