About the Galashiels Route

The Cycle route in Galashiels offers a challenging climb over Windyknowe and on to the A72 passing by Torwoodlee Estate en route to Clovenfords village. Ascending over Cliff Road to the Nest roundabout (gaining its name from the nesting heron in the trees nearby) the route then turns to run parallel with the River Tweed (popular forits salmon fishing), passing through Caddonfoot and turning off by Yair Bridge.

Enjoy the scenic route back towards Galashiels via The Rink Farm and Holly Bush. The final descent into the town takes you past the ‘Mercat Cross’, the marrying place of Margaret Tudor, King Henry VII’s daughter, to King James IV. The next turn takes you past St Paul’s Church which houses nesting Peregrine falcons – this is situated opposite the picturesque Old Gala House the original abode of the Earl of Galashiels.

Our Galashiels events offer a superb running route, with a cultivated woodland trail through Gala Policies. The Policies are defined as ‘the enclosed grounds of a large house, the park of an estate’ as it houses the ruins of the original New Gala House, the former home of the Scotts of Galashiels.

Parking is available at Galashiels Academy which is located on Elm Row, Galashiels. There will be no parking in the Swimming Pool car park as this will be used for the transition area. Please avoid parking on Livingston Place.
