St Cuthbert’s Way - Self Guided Walking Holiday
The St Cuthbert’s Way is a fascinating historical 63 mile walking holiday through the less trodden Scottish Borders and Northumberland countryside. It finishes on the spectacular Holy Island where the walk across the sands at low tide is truly memorable.

Starting your adventure in Melrose you will travel south via the Eildon Hills which gives a fantastic vantage point of the surrounding countryside. Near St Boswells you will walk along the banks of the River Tweed famous for its salmon fishing, then skirting Jedburgh to the north you continue east via Morebattle and onto Kirk Yetholm for your overnight stop. Kirk Yetholm is where the Pennine Way finishes and which runs for 270 miles through the spine of England. The coast is now getting closer and after wonderful walking to Wooler you continue east until the sea is reached at Fenham for your walk across the sands to the spectacular Lindisfarne. An unforgettable experience through both Scottish Borders and Northern England.

"Dear Neil, We are back safely having had a great walk. It is a very good route, surprised us just how nice the area is and ending at Lindisfarne is just wonderful. Thank you for all your help - it all worked without a hitch and we did appreciate the Manor House Hotel with its comforts and the view of the castle. The weather was dry every inch of the way - we were very lucky." Frances Bell, UK.
