Melrose and the River Tweed, Highlands
3 miles, walkhighlands.co.uk
This is a gorgeous walk along the upper reaches of the River Tweed in Scotland. Melrose looks a little like Trumpton, with independent shops neatly laid out. The abbey makes for a playful experience at the end of the walk: look for the gargoyle of a pig playing the bagpipes.
