Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

Two and a bit miles crossing the Tweed twice, out over the 1624 Old Bridge into Tweedmouth, west along the south bank under the Royal Tweed Bridge to the foot of Stephenson's Royal Border Bridge viaduct, then back across the Royal Tweed Bridge and down to Quay Walls. Riverbank underfoot for most of it, with a road pavement over each bridge and a set of steps at the Tweedmouth end of the Old Bridge. The council's dog control PSPO places no exclusion on any of this ground, but the two road bridges are classified routes with narrow footways, so a short lead is required there. Swans and eider ducks sit on the mud below the Old Bridge at low water and a loose dog will put them up.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs must be on a lead no longer than 1.5m on the 'A' and 'B' classified roads and their verges under the Northumberland dog control PSPO, which covers the bridge crossings; the riverbank sections carry no restriction.
