Maxton is a wonderful area for ramblers (a path through the
grounds joins St Cuthbert's Way walk), archeologists - the region is full of
reminders of the area's turbulent past with ruined Abbeys, Castles, Towers and
Forts, and ornithologists will discover a variety of birds and
wildlife.
For golfers there are numerous golf courses and fishermen can
enjoy good fishing on the River Tweed, which flows past the end of the Estate.
The nearby town of Melrose has swimming and leisure facilities and the Border
towns of Jedburgh, Hawick, Selkirk, Galasheils and Kelso are all within a 10
mile radius. |
