Kailzie Gardens run to seventeen acres of walled garden, woodland and burnside walks on the Tweed just east of Peebles. There’s a mix of formal beds, a wilder garden and mature trees, plus a café and room for children to roam — an easy, relaxed visit rather than a grand designed landscape. Check the seasonal hours before you go.
