Help connect Kelso
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 Kelso’s Slow Ways.

Part of the Borders Abbeys Way, this stretch traverses agricultural fields and follows minor roads, farm tracks and riverside paths. The route is mostly flat. While at 14+ miles it is a long walk, it does provide a safe and direct connection between these two Border towns....
