Walking in the Ale Water Valley

Walking in and around the Ale Water Valley

If you love walking -especially with your four footed best friend- then you have come to the perfect place. The Ale Water Valley offers a rich variety of wonderful walks throughout the year with its special blend of hills, valleys, forests, river, lochs and country lanes. Here you can choose between a gentle meander along a riverside to the local pub or coffee shop or take a longer circular route via special sites of historic and natural interest. For the more adventurous the Ale Water Valley is also a gateway to the iconic long route walks which traverse the region and link to Scotland’s Great Trails - the Borders Abbeys Way, Southern Upland Way, St Cuthbert’s Way and the Scottish National Trail. 

Walking in the Scottish Borders

Using the Ale Water Valley as a base you can explore all the walking that the Scottish Borders has to offer. Your accommodation provider will be able to help with walks from the door.
