点评:I did this lovely walk along to the Neidpath tunnel and across the old bridge as a clockwise riverside walk loop. It can be done anticlockwise too, and the path is easy enough to follow without a map.
From the Kingsmeadows car park I crossed the Peebles bridge (see photo 1) and descended to the riverside path on the south side of the river Tweed. Follow the footpath that is flat tarmac at first, then rocky and uneven with many tree roots, undulating a bit - so good footwear and care is needed. Always keep beside the river.
Pass the steel Fotheringham footbridge (unless you want a much shorter walk back to town) and keep on the riverside footpath till you reach the Neidpath tunnel - look behind you!. Shortly after the tunnel you can cross the old railway bridge (photos 2 and 3) and descend at the signposted steps onto the north bank of the Tweed. Follow this clear riverside path back to Peebles, (photos 4 and 6) again passing the Fotheringham bridge. You also pass underneath Neidpath castle (photo 5) near the bend in the river - it's OK for a visit but nothing special.
There are some magnificent tree specimens (see the lonesome pine in photo 7) in the mature woodlands en route. Look out for waterfowl, dippers and herons. (See photos 8 and 9 - look closely!)
I took 1 hour 15 minutes at a moderate to brisk pace, so allowing 1 and a half to two hours with children allows time to explore and get feet wet.
An excellent 3-mile walk for a family with children, it's varied and has some lovely viewpoints too - see my amateur photos.
翻译:我沿着这条美丽的小径走到 Neidpath 隧道,穿过老桥,沿着河边顺时针环行。也可以逆时针走,而且这条路很容易走,不需要地图。
从 Kingsmeadows 停车场出发,我穿过 Peebles 桥(见照片 1),下到特威德河南侧的河边小径。沿着这条人行道走,起初是平坦的柏油路,然后是崎岖不平的岩石路,有许多树根,有点起伏 - 所以需要穿好鞋并小心谨慎。始终保持在河边。
经过钢制的 Fotheringham 人行天桥(除非您想走短得多的路回到镇上),继续沿着河边的人行道走,直到到达 Neidpath 隧道 - 回头看看!。穿过隧道后不久,您可以穿过旧铁路桥(照片 2 和 3),然后沿着有路标的台阶下到特威德河北岸。沿着这条清澈的河边小路回到皮布尔斯(照片 4 和 6),再次经过福瑟林汉姆桥。您还会经过河流弯道附近的 Neidpath 城堡(照片 5)下方 - 参观一下还可以,但没什么特别的。
沿途成熟的林地中有一些壮观的树木标本(见照片 7 中的孤松)。留意水禽、河鸫和苍鹭。(见照片 8 和 9 - 仔细看!)
我以中等到快速的速度花了 1 小时 15 分钟,所以留出 1 个半到 2 小时的时间与孩子一起探索和弄湿双脚。
对于有孩子的家庭来说,这是一段非常棒的 3 英里步行路程,它变化多端,还有一些美丽的景色 - 请参阅我的业余照片。
