Help connect Jedburgh

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Jedburgh’s Slow Ways.

The alternative is after crossing the main road at the bridge and heading up Dere Street turn right along the road and use that into town, there is a path on the righ that crosses the Jed water and this is quicker into the conurbation - depends on how slow you want to be....

Agree with the previous reviews that this is an enjoyable, largely traffic-free route, that is well sign-posted as part of the Borders Abbeys Way. A variety of path surfaces, including some stiles are part of the route. A very nice walk....

Alternatively, you could head from the Bus Station and turn left before the church and follow the small road onto the bumpy track on the top of the cliffs above the Tweed which joins the marked route at the Golf Course. The route round the bight of the river has excellent views, and from the height of the flood debris you can see how high the river can get, and why some parts of the route can be quite muddy. Note that the O/S maps do not show the correct route of Dere St and St Cuthberts Way past Woodside, but the ground waymarks are clear and correct. If you follow the instructions/waymarks for St Cuthberts Way (East) you can save ½ mile of walking and are again on the correct route. Dere St is quite a wide rutted track at this stage and after about ¾ of a mile of climbing ,some of it quite steep, you have to turn right off Dere St onto The Borders Abbey Way, again with clear sign posting. The signposted route takes the long but safe route using an under pass, but as traffic was light, I just walked across the road and walked beside the Jed Water past the old Bridge....

St Cuthbert's Way is well waymarked and there is a reasonable path throughout although it is a little rough in places and there is perhaps a little more ascent and descent than might be expected. At the very start of the walk it is possible to avoid some road walking by taking a lane just before the church on the left which turns into a path that goes down to the bank of the Tweed....

The going on the old railway line is generally good.The walk beside the Teviot near Nisbet bridge is very pleasant....

This is a great, largely traffic free, route (only quiet, minor roads used occasionally). It also has the benefit of following the Borders Abbey Way from Kelso into Jedburgh, and is therefore signposted. Note of caution: There are stretches alongside the River Teviot, which could be either muddy, or impassable after heavy rain....
