Harestanes Countryside Visitor Centre

Highlight • Restaurant

This is a lovely place to stop at, including for families with children. There is a café here, activities for children (including crafts), exhibition and four woodland walks. All surrounded by rather lovely countryside, of course! Just note that the centre is open between April and October.

The Cross Keys Pub, Ancrum

Highlight • Pub

The Cross Keys is a friendly and welcoming, if not a little quirky, pub on the village green of Ancrum. They're more than used to catering for hungry and thirsty travellers and locals alike. Located a little off the beaten track yet not far from the spectacular town of Jedburgh and it's ancient Abbey, make sure you visit this pub if you're looking for some delicious refreshment.

View from Minto Hills

Highlight • Viewpoint

Before leaving the road to climb the hill, close to the golf, at à corner, there is a farm selling eggs and jams. Choose and pay. That is so simple.
