Waymark on the St Cuthbert's Way

St Cuthbert's Way

Walk in St Cuthbert’s footsteps across the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. Explore ancient towns, historic abbeys, castles, and St Cuthbert’s Cave, finishing with the iconic tidal crossing to Holy Island of Lindisfarne.

The St Cuthbert’s Way is a remarkable walking route through the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders and the Northumberland countryside, finishing with a memorable journey across the tidal flats to the iconic Holy Island of Lindisfarne, one of Europe’s most famous Christian sites.

Along the way, you’ll pass through ancient market towns such as Melrose, Jedburgh, and Wooler, and enjoy far-reaching views from the Eildon Hills across the Scottish Borders. The route is steeped in history: explore the graceful ruins of Dryburgh Abbey, where Sir Walter Scott is buried, and visit St Cuthbert’s Cave, where his remains were once stored.

Follow well-marked trails and travel like a pilgrim, connecting with sites closely linked to St Cuthbert’s life. This route is ideal for walkers who enjoy unspoiled landscapes, rich heritage, and a sense of spiritual and historical discovery.
