Lakeland Touring · a little help with the planning
Find your Borders state of mind.
A change of pace, a welcoming town and countryside close at hand. Make Melrose your starting point for a Scottish Borders escape.
A town day, then a country day
Spend an afternoon in Melrose and plan a visit to its abbey. Historic Scotland currently reports that much of the abbey and grounds are open, with some areas restricted for conservation, so check access before setting off. For another day, choose a local walk that suits the weather and your group rather than trying to fit everything into one outing.
A good touring holiday needs space for a late breakfast or a change of plan. Mix time in town with the operator’s suggested local walking options, and leave longer trips for a day when everyone feels like exploring.
