Our Setting
Winning the Country Town Prize in the Bloom Awards, Jedburgh
today offers an attractive setting to follow the town trail,
take a riverside walk or browse among the shops in the
colourful renovated buildings at Market Place and Canongate.
Regular national hunt race meetings are held at nearby
Kelso between October and May, and local riding stables
are within easy driving distance, as are numerous Border
castles and abbeys.
Mill shops and visitor centres selling top quality cashmere
and lambswool garments produced in the Borders are all
within easy reach offering exclusive brand names at factory
prices.
