St Cuthbert’s Way - Day 1 - Melrose to Jedburgh

Bridging the national border between Scotland and England, this inspiring 100km (62.5 miles) cross border route links Melrose in the Scottish Borders, where St. Cuthbert started his religious life in 650AD, with Holy Island off the Northumberland Coast, his eventual resting place and his original pilgrimage shrine. Although inspired by St. Cuthbert, this is far more than a pilgrimage route.

The first day is approximately 17- 18 miles from Melrose to Jedburgh taking in the Eildon Hills, the Rivers Tweed and Teviot and Lilliards Stone, amongst others.

Nearest train station to the start is Tweedbank which is about 1.7 miles away but buses are available to take you into Melrose on a regular basis.
