アッパーツイードデール周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ14

I had my head torch which only just let me see through the pitch blackness. I wouldn't want to come through here late at night as it's very creepy.

This tunnel is pitch black and goes on for a fair distance,bring a good head torch or bike lights.

I had my lights with me this time. The Neiderpath tunnel has water dropping from above onto you, just like rain

I did not have lights with me. Pushed the bike with phone torch on. Defo an unexpected experience, must be 300mtrs + distance to get through

It is pleasing to eventually see light at the end of the tunnel.

I was not expecting to somehow get through a pitch black tunnel. It is quite long at maybe 350mtrs. Idid not have bike lights on, so had to dismount, wheel the bike through, with the torch on my mobile phone switched on

Broughton Place is a historic house in the village of Broughton, Scottish Borders. It was designed by Basil Spence in the style of a 17th-century Scottish Baronial tower house.

I tend to ride this the other way, ending in Eddleston, because I for me the Black and White Meldons reveal themselves so much more dramatically. The valley is soaked in pre-history - there are ancient forts on both Melvins, and below them there are burial cairns dotted along the valley. I’ve often wondered whether a certain arrangement of stones right by the roadside is, in fact, a Neolithic ‘causeway’ monument - though it’s not on any list as far as I know. The sum effect, especially if you ride at times when there are relatively few people around (early morning, late afternoon, out of season), is incredibly atmospheric.
