Dog walking in Melrose

Melrose has the best doorstep walking in the Borders and the busiest paths to match. We plan Melrose walks around the crowds as much as the weather — the Eildons on a sunny Saturday are no place for a dog who finds strangers hard work.

Where we walk in Melrose

Routes chosen for the dog and the day, not just whatever is nearest the van.

The Eildon Hills

The obvious one, and worth it. Our adventure walks go up the saddle between the north and mid hills. Sheep graze the lower slopes, so dogs are on lead until we are past them, every time.

St Cuthbert's Way

Runs straight through the town and gives long, well-surfaced out-and-back walking in either direction. Reliable underfoot when everything else is mud.

The Tweed at Gattonside

Across the chain bridge and along the north bank — quieter than the Melrose side and a good option for nervous dogs who want space from other walkers.

Darnick and Newstead lanes

Quiet village lanes and field edges, ideal for puppy visits and short solo walks for dogs who are not up to the hills.

Streets and areas we cover

Darnick, Gattonside, Newstead, Newtown St Boswells, Eildon and the Weirhill — and anywhere else in Melrose within a sensible drive of the round.
