There are some nice views along the riverside pathway. Be careful turning off the bridge back onto the path, it can be slippy when wet . I had to put my foot down when the bike slid away.

Cardrona Pump Track

Highlight • Rest Area

Cool pump track on the cycle path between Peebles and Innerleithen just on the edge of Cardrona. There's a small shelter here too so you can chill between sessioning. Especially tricky when it's windy!

Peebles Hydro Hotel

Highlight • Monument

Peebles Hydro, built in 1881 to a design by John Starforth. This French Renaissance style building in red sandstone with many turrets burned down in 1905. The architect for the present building was James Miller, who designed the Turnberry Hotel. Hydropathic hotels were very fashionable in the early 1900s, visitors were encouraged to take the local waters as a curative for
various real or imaginary ailments.

Peebles is a gorgeous Scottish Borders market town on the banks of the River Tweed. It's popular with tourists, both for sightseeing and other activities, including fishing on the river, hiking on the nearby hills and mountain biking at the nearby trail centre of Glentress.

The town is also well known for its creative residents, hosting an annual art festival, as well as multiple galleries and museums to visit. Well worth a visit if you're in the Borderlands or for a day trip from Edinburgh.

Don't miss the impressive 15th-century stone bridge near the centre, once known as the main crossing of the River Tweed.
