Description:

A four‑stage journey graded at Difficulty 2 (Slightly Harder). Stretching for 100 km, this remarkable route carries you from the abbey town of Melrose in the Scottish Borders to the tidal causeway leading to Lindisfarne. Inspired by the travels of St Cuthbert yet far from a traditional pilgrimage, it offers a rich blend of rolling hills, quiet farmland, ancient paths, and big‑sky border landscapes. More than anything, it’s a beautiful and deeply rewarding way to experience the character of this historic region.
