12th century Abbey that made Kelso a powerful town in the area for hundreds of years. The Abbey was closed in June 2022 due to safety issues so check ahead. It's worth stopping just to have a look at the well preserved ruins from the road. The surface of the road is 'Sett'. which is very mild paving. There is a Komoot surface warning but the road is very ridable on all bike/tyre types.
