7stanes - Glentress

Reviewed By Goose1647 - Garforth, United Kingdom

1st visit to the trails here and they certainly don't disappoint, did the black route straight off the bat and it broke me a little, did a bit of pushing up but the flies took a shine to me so stopping wasn't an option. The downhills are ace though and well worth the climbing, spooky wood is great fun and even the blue at the end is pretty mega with great flow, just a shame it's so far away.

Peebles Quadrangle

Reviewed By Bibcay - Gateshead, United Kingdom

This is a very tranquil area. This is one of the best war memorials I have ever seen here. The flowers are good too and so was the architecture.

This pub has won many awards so had to visit when visiting the area. As soon as you go in, you can see its a proper pub and had very friendly locals and very well kept real ale.

Tweed Valley Railway Path

Reviewed By Granky54 - Scottish Borders, United Kingdom

A regular cycle ride from Peebles to Innerleithen return, stopping for coffee either at Nashy’s in Cardrona or No 1 in Innerleithen....a sublime couple of hours. Following much of the disused railway line the route is dotted with information boards detailing the history of the buildings and railway route. Cutting through the Cardrona golf course the route is predominantly flat with an occasional small incline, the steepest part being between the tunnel under the A72 and Peebles, a mere bump for the experienced cyclist! Whole route is on tarmac so no more than sensible shoes required.
