PEEBLES AREA
VISITORS GUIDE
Enjoy the Lifestyle
View Full Article » (Published 7 April 2010)
Located just 23 miles from Edinburgh and 50 miles from Glasgow – although it feels like a world away - Peebles has long been a favourite place for a day out with residents of both cities who come to browse the
town’s much admired high street shops, galleries, craft centres and round the day off with a meal in one of the
town’s acclaimed eateries.
These same attractions, coupled with the wide range
of outdoor leisure pursuits available and new housing
developments that offer better value for money than
the cities, increasingly tempt many younger people
to move to the area and enjoy the lifestyle on a
permanent basis.
For sports enthusiasts this part of the Borders is hard
to beat. Glentress Forest, which has existed for 10,000
years, is now one of the top mountain bike venues in
the UK (and the number one attraction in the Borders),
with ski-style black, red, blue and green trails to suit all
levels of ability, while walkers have their own routes to
ensure the two never meet.
Nearby, Cardrona Adventure Centre adds quad biking,
kayaking, horse riding, climbing and abseiling to the list
of outdoor possibilities. And, of course, there is rugby,
football, tennis, horse riding and more.
The outdoor lifestyle is one of the town’s main
attractions - and you don’t have to be an angler to
appreciate the world-famous River Tweed, which flows
through Peebles like a silver ribbon, providing glorious
river walks and trails for cyclists and walkers of all ages
and abilities. Dawyck Botanic Garden and Kailzie
Gardens provide a year-round kaleidoscope of colour,
while nearby hills like Cademuir reward walkers with
spectacular views of the town and surrounding area.
