The Tweed Valley Forest Park lies in the main woodland corridor between Peebles and Selkirk and boasts some fabulous visitor attractions.

The Forest Park is within two hours travelling time from many of the major towns and cities north and south of the border - perfect for day visits.

Future development of the Forest Park will focus on stimulating local businesses and creating opportunities for local people to get involved in and enjoy their forests.
