The Borders Abbeys Way is a long-distance footpath in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland. It is a circular walkway and is 64.5 miles (103 km) long.
The theme of the footpath is the ruined Borders abbeys (established by David I of Scotland) along its way—Kelso Abbey, Jedburgh Abbey, Melrose Abbey and Dryburgh Abbey—and it also includes the towns of Hawick and Selkirk. The Abbeys were homes to the monks who lived there between the 12th and 16th centuries.
Most people choose to do the Walk in one day for each segment.
It is divided into five sections, each roughly a days walk.
Along the Borders Abbeys Way there are several rivers: Jed Water, River Teviot, River Tweed, Ale Water, and Rule Water.
