Coach holidays with Alfa Travel

Melrose Weekend

Resort - Melrose

Overview

The picturesque town of Melrose is located next to the River Tweed at foot of the triple peaks of the Eildon Hills; a distinctive landmark of the Scottish Borders. The area around Melrose is thought to have been inhabited for thousands of years with the Romans arriving in AD79 or 80 and building a fort nearby named Trimontium; 'Place of the Three Hills’. The Three Hills Roman Heritage Centre houses the Trimontium Museum which is dedicated to Roman life in Scotland. Melrose Abbey lies to the North East side of the centre of the town. With an abundance of independent shops and cafes, there is ample things to do whilst visiting this pretty little town.

Day 2 - Berwick-upon-Tweed & Bamburgh

  • We cross the border into England today with a trip to historic Berwick-upon-Tweed. Located on the border, with River Tweed flowing through the centre, this town has passed hands between England and Scotland countless times. The town walls, castle and ramparts and winding, cobbled streets all hold tales of the town’s turbulent past. After some free time to explore we continue our journey along the coast taking in the spectacular views and making our way to the beautiful coastal town of Bamburgh with its pristine beaches and splendid beaches.
