The B709 dissects the stunning tree-lined Innerleithen golf club which is a sight well worth seeing and a great reward after the earlier climb and then descent on the same road (if you've come from the north).

Bluebell Woods on the Tweed Valley Back Road Between Caddonfoot and Walkerburn

Highlight • Natural

Just a heads up early 2022, lots of logging activity on the stretch from Walkerburn to Peel, as well as logging trucks watch for extra debris on the road, large build up of gravel on the corners on decent to Peel.

A quite spectacularly good cafe in the heart of Innerleithen, which caters to all stripes of locals and tourists alike. Locally sourced food (try the breakfasts - they're excellent), really, really (really) good coffee and a lovely ambience.
