Route details

Park in Innerleithen and head for the bike path along the Tweed. Follow this all the way to Walkerburn and cross over the Tweed to return by the quiet backroad. This takes you all the way to the 7 stanes car park but there is an old railway bridge that can be used for a shorter return to town.
