Overview
Sitting where the Slitrig meets the Teviot River, just over 80 kilometres south of Edinburgh and 64 kilometres north of Carlisle, this textile trading town represents the best of Scottish Border heritage. Nestled in the rolling countryside of the Southern Uplands, the town boasts striking parkland and riverside campsites, plus easy access to some of southern Scotlandâs most inviting landscapes, including the Berwickshire Coast, Pentland Hills, and Grey Mareâs Tail.
Where to go
Around Hawick
Thereâs no need to travel far outside of Hawick in search of campsites and outdoor adventure. Riverside caravan parks, woodland retreats, and hilltop pitches can be found within 25 kilometres of town, while attractions such as the historic Wilton Lodge Park, Chisholme House, and Ale Water Valley provide plenty for hikers, bikers, and families to see and do.
Moffat Hills
Home to St. Maryâs Loch and the Grey Mareâs Tail nature reserve, this upland range is a destination for any outdoor adventurer. Walking, cycling, canoeing, and climbing are all popular pastimes in the region, while wildlife watchers can look out for resident ospreys, peregrine falcons, and wild goats. Lochside camps, caravan parks, and glampsites offer convenient alternatives to wild camping.
Edinburgh & the Pentland Hills
Combine capital sightseeing with wild exploration in the Pentland Hills, Edinburghâs home hill range. A vast network of footpaths, bridleways, and cycle trails allow access to the regional parkâs woodlands, reservoirs, and viewpoints, within 30 minutesâ drive of the city centre. Wild camping is possible but strictly controlled within the park, while several caravan parks and campsites stand on the outskirts.
Berwickshire Coast
Just over an hourâs drive east of Hawick, the Berwickshire Coast boasts unspoiled countryside and dramatic coastline, ideal for family adventures. Explore the regionâs sandy beaches, nature reserves, and coastal paths on foot or by bike, or get an intimate glimpse of the North Sea surfing, snorkeling, or by boat. Accommodation options include seaside holiday parks and rural campsites.
Northumberland National Park
This sprawling national park just south of the Scottish-English border draws walkers, cyclists, and stargazers, thanks to its secluded nature and dark skies. Working farms and back-to-basics campsites provide plenty of bookable options, leaving travellers more time to explore attractions such as Hadrianâs Wall, the Cheviot Hills, and the parkâs many off-road trails.
When to go
Scotlandâs extreme weather can make it tricky to camp over winter, though adventurers after a glimpse of the regionâs snowy peaks can arrive in early spring or late autumn to see the Southern Uplands under a blanket.
