Overview

With a great play park in a beautiful setting and a packed events programme, there's plenty to do at Harestanes, whatever the weather.

 

2012 marks the visitor centre's 20th anniversary, so come along and help celebrate one of the Borders' best-loved family attractions! Admission is free.

Visit our website to download the 2012 events brochure, packed with exhibitions and activities for all the family.

Savour the taste of freshly-ground FairTrade coffee, the perfect accompaniment to delicious traybakes and fresh scones, in the relaxed setting of the recently refurbished CafĂ©.

 

Discover the beauty of the local countryside. Harestanes lies on St Cuthbert's Way, one of the country's most popular long-distance paths. A network of quiet public roads provides plenty of choice for cyclists, including the 55 mile '4 Abbeys Cycle Route' which passes through Harestanes.
