Directions / Parking
On the A72 immediately opposite Hay Lodge Park. Starts and Finish at eastern edge of park.
Overview
Hay Lodge Park is on the west side of Peebles and is the largest park in the town. Open parkland slopes down to the River Tweed, with many mature trees and a network of paths. There is a wilder, wooded part at the west end.
South Park Wood is on the south side of the River Tweed. Interesting features include a disused railway line (the Peebles branch line of the Caledonian Railway), the Neidpath Viaduct and tunnel (might need a torch), as well as Neidpath Castle, dating back to the 14th Century, on the north bank of the river.
Short courses are entirely within Hay Lodge Park whilst the longer courses visit the tricky South Park Wood
