A walk from medieval Melrose past the Abbey and along the Tweed Valley to Newstead. A circuit of the hidden Roman Fortress of Trimontium includes stunning views from the towering Leaderfoot viaduct followed by tea in the village hall before returning to Melrose.

A walk from medieval Melrose past the Abbey and along the Tweed Valley to Newstead, reputed to be the oldest inhabited village in Scotland.

This is a very pleasant and varied walk with several excellent information boards around the Trimontium Roman Camp half. The trouble is the track as shown here does not match the actual track on the ground. I would encourage others to do the walk, but rely on your own interpretation of the route rather than blindly following it as shown here. The track here should be taken as a general guide.

Very hard to follow in places - track doesnt follow landscape and in places what appears to be the route is now impossible to follow because of agricultural changes.
