Destination Tweed

A major river-revitalisation project working to conserve, celebrate and share the nature, history and stories of the River Tweed.

Our Area

The River Tweed is one of the UK’s most important and highly designated river corridors boasting a rich natural and cultural heritage. Nestled in the heart of the Scottish Borders and crossing over to Northumberland, the River Tweed weaves its way through lush green valleys, impressive landscapes, and picturesque towns, crossing borders and centuries of history.

River Tweed Trail

At approximately 113 miles, the River Tweed Trail will be one of the UK’s newest source-to-sea walking and cycling routes, showcasing the exceptional natural, built and cultural heritage from Moffat, past the source of the river, to Berwick-upon-Tweed where the river meets the sea.
