A historic royal burgh situated 10 miles North
of the Scottish-English Border; a holiday in Jedburgh offers a
fascinating base for exploring the beautiful countryside of the
Scottish Borders.
A town alive with history, Jedburgh has seen
its fair share of battles and cross-border raids up until the
17th century. Its fantastic Abbey has been pillaged and
rebuilt numerous times, but is still an interesting visit, as is
Jedburgh Castle and the Mary Queen of Scots Visitor Centre. The
architecture of the town is a pretty mixture of architectural eras,
with many buildings built from stone quarried from the ruined
Abbey, making a holiday cottage in Jedburgh an ideal destination
for history buffs.
There are plenty of things to do in the town
other than exploring heritage sites; go on a picturesque riverside
walk, peruse some of the charming independent shops and visit the
numerous cafes and restaurants. You will find plenty to do on a
holiday in Jedburgh.
