Travelling to the Tweed Valley

To travel to the Tweed Valley from various locations in the UK, you have several transportation options available. The Tweed Valley is located in the Scottish Borders, close to the border with England, its closest major city is Edinburgh with superb transport links. 

By Car: If you prefer the flexibility of driving so you can take multiple bikes, spare parts and all your wet and dry weather riding kit you can reach the Tweed Valley by car. From most locations in the UK, you'll need to head north towards the Scottish Borders. The primary routes are the A1 (from the east coast of England) or the M6 and A7 (from the west coast or central England). 

If you are coming from the South exit at Moffat and take the epic A701 over the top of the hills. If you fancy a very scenic route past lochs and waterfalls take the Moffat exit again but go right out of Moffat itself along the A708 and onto the A 709. not advisable at night however. 

By Train: The nearest railway stations to the Tweed Valley are Galashiels and Tweedbank. Several train services connect these stations to major cities in the UK, including Edinburgh, Newcastle, and Carlisle. You can check with National Rail or specific train operators for schedules, fares, and booking information.

We also like the sleeper train from London. Caledonian Sleeper operates overnight sleeper train services between London Euston and Edinburgh. You can board the train in the evening, sleep on board, and arrive in Edinburgh early in the morning. From Edinburgh, you can then continue your journey to the Tweed Valley by train or other means of transportation.
