Overview
Following the announcement from the government, we regret to advise customers that the visitor centre and playpark are now closed to the public. Thank you to all our customers for their support and patience with this ever changing situation.
With a brand new play park, café, gift shop and stunning walks throughout the Teviot Valley, Harestanes is a must visit in the Scottish Borders.
Whether taking in the scenery on one of the walks, savouring a homebaked treat in the café, indulging in a little retail therapy or running around the inclusive play park – Harestanes offers something for everyone. There are some of the most beautiful walking trails in the Scottish Borders: energetic hikes and leisurely jaunts – check out our walks leaflet for more info.
A beacon for accessible play in the Scottish Borders, the play park features over 50 pieces of durable, innovative and exciting play features for children of all ages. There is a wide variety of play equipment for children with additional support needs including the Borders’ only wheelchair swings and an all-inclusive sensory boardwalk.
In addition there is an agility trail, a picnic area and a toddler play garden. At the heart of the play park is an impressive Jedburgh Abbey-inspired centrepiece and pyramid tower.
