5. 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.

Housed in a converted stable the Courtyard Cafe offers an excellent selection of food and drink. We thoroughly enjoyed our tea and scones by the log stove. Although they were slightly more expensive than those offered in similar venues in the Peebles area.
