🎥 **WALK SPOTLIGHT: Kalemouth to Jedburgh** 🥾💧
Looking for a pleasant, scenic stroll steeped in local history? This beautiful linear route passes through gorgeous Borders countryside with very little ascent—making it the perfect excuse for coffee and cake at the end! ☕🍰
# # # **📖 The Journey & Heritage**
We begin this walk at **Kalemouth**, crossing the River Teviot over a historic suspension bridge (now closed to vehicles) before following a quiet minor road past Ormiston House. From there, we step back in time along the old **Roxburgh-Jedburgh railway line**, which closed to passenger traffic after the devastating winter floods of 1948 swept away the Teviot bridge.
* **River Walks:** We trace the old track to Nisbet, cross the modern road bridge, and head down a lovely riverside pathway where you can still spot the remaining stumps of the destroyed 1948 bridge.
* **Wildlife & Cliffs:** After picking up the old railway line once more, we emerge at Mounthooly and cross over to meet the **Jed Water**. The trail carries us past Riverside Park (home of Jedforest RFC) and joins the **Borders Abbeys Way**.
* **The Home Stretch:** This final riverside stretch treats us to stunning views of the ancient cliffs carved out by the water over millennia. Keep your eyes peeled for herons by the cauld—and if you're incredibly lucky, you might just spot a kingfisher as we approach the town centre! 🐦✨
