The St Cuthberts way trek is a 62 mile trail starting at the
Scottish border town of Melrose. We then traverse attractive and
varied countryside encompassing the purple clad hills and valleys
of the Cheviots and the Border regions to eventually arrive at the
holy island of Lindisfarne, off the Northumberland coast.
The trail is named after a 7th century saint, Cuthbert, who was
a native of the borders and spent his life in the service of God
and the Church, begining his work at Melrose Abbey and eventually
achieving the status of Bishop. When he died he was buried on Holy
Island, being called a Saint when, eleven years later his coffin
was opened and his perfectly preserved body was revealed.
