    Tips

    Hiking

    A lovely, serene stretch along the banks of River Tweed. By a bit of a contrast to the southern bank on the other side of the river, this one is more wooded and provides some more visual variety. It is easy to visit the town of Gattonside, which is just to the north of you from here.

    Hiking

    From the chain bridge you can walk up to the sandstone road bridge and back via the other side of the river.
