Glenerne Guest House

Berwickshire Coastal Path

Stretches 48km along dramatic clifftops and sandy beaches from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Cockburnspath, with steep ascents and descents throughout—challenging terrain unsuitable for buggies or very young children. Dogs welcome on leads near seabird colonies (spring/summer nesting). Rewards effort with stunning North Sea views, historic smugglers' coves, and wildlife including puffins at St Abb's Head. Best tackled in sections; coastal paths can be exposed in poor weather.

Discovery Trail

Explores Dunbar's coastal and historical highlights on mostly flat, paved paths through the town and along the harbour. Perfect for families with buggies and young children – accessible throughout with minimal gradients. Dogs welcome on leads in town areas. Worth it for the castle ruins, John Muir's birthplace, and harbour views, giving you a solid sense of Dunbar's maritime heritage and connection to the famous naturalist in under an hour.

St. Abb's Head Trail

Follows dramatic clifftop paths with steep drops and uneven, rocky ground – definitely not suitable for buggies or young children who can't walk confidently. Dogs welcome on leads (essential near cliff edges). Ascents are moderate but continuous. Rewards with spectacular North Sea views, seabird colonies including puffins and guillemots in breeding season, and rugged Scottish Borders coastline that's among Britain's finest. Proper footwear required for the rocky, sometimes muddy terrain.

Mire Loch Loop

Lighthouse Loop

Circles the dramatic Barns Ness Lighthouse on East Lothian's rocky coastline, with flat to gentle terrain along clifftops and beaches. Perfect for families and buggies on firmer sections, though some coastal paths can be uneven. Dogs welcome to roam alongside seabirds and explore rockpools. Rewards you with sweeping North Sea views, fascinating WWII defences, and excellent birdwatching—plus that iconic red-and-white striped lighthouse as your constant companion.
