The Borders are mainly gentle rolling farmland, quietly wealthy. The most interesting country is around the River Tweed, a lovely valley amidst gentle rural landscape peppered with ruins that passes by the traditional border town of Peebles towards Coldstream. It is good walking and cycling country. Melrose, near Galashiels and Kelso are both gorgeous market towns that provide a good base to explore the region. Jedburgh is also a popular town with a dominating Abbey.
