As the name suggests, this walk was opened in 1977 to mark the silver jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
We will take the minibus to the starting point – about 30 minutes through picturesque scenery.
Located just outside Tweedsmuir in the Upper Tweed valley, this walk was planned as a vehicular forest drive but is now a pleasant walking trail between the Talla and Fruid reservoirs.
We will follow the walk around its horseshoe shape, past the Fruid Reservoir Dam, and will have plenty of time to stop and admire the superb views. Among the many points of interest on this walk are Fruid Head and Hart Fell (a Corbett) and an old quarry, plus several Iron age roundhouses of the Talla Valley.
The Talla Reservoir makes a sudden – delightful – appearance around a corner towards the end of the walk and no matter how tired your limbs are this will make it all worthwhile.
