Overview

Made up of seven forests dotted around the valley of the River Tweed, Tweed Valley Forest Park is Scotland’s most popular forested area and just an hour’s drive from Edinburgh. Glentress Forest is the park’s hub and known for its mountain bike routes, walking trails and exciting tree-top scramble. Cardrona is the perfect place for taking peaceful long-distance walks and cross-country horse rides. Caberston offers a climb to an Iron Age hill fort. Yair offers a Biodiversity Trail and river views, Traquair has the best downhill biking and the trails at Cademuir, and Thornielee lead you through wildlife-filled woodland and away from crowds.

Notable campgrounds

Best for outdoor activities: Glentress Forest Lodges sits alongside the mountain bike trail centre at Glentress Forest.
Best for views: Rosetta Holiday Park is set on the grounds of a Georgian mansion with views of the Venlaw Hills.
Best for peace and quiet: Tweedside Caravan Park is a small, family-owned site close to the banks of the Tweed.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Not all sites are open year-round. Check ahead of travelling.
Booking in advance is highly recommended during school summer holidays.
Most sites allow booking well in advance, so you can plan as soon as you know your travel dates.

When to go

April through September is the best time to visit the Tweed Valley Forest Park, but the height of the summer season does bring crowds and booked-up campsites. If planning to visit in the summer months, it’s a good idea to at least avoid school holidays and weekends—if unavoidable, be sure to book sites well in advance. Spring and summer is also the best time for viewing wildlife, including ospreys.

Know before you go

If you choose to wild camp, be sure to follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
Having your own transport is essential for visiting, and getting around, Tweed Valley Forest Park.
Glentress Forest is home to visitor facilities, including a good cafe and the Wildlife Room where you can watch live feeds of ospreys and other wildlife.
