Driving Directions

Our closest town is Peebles. From there, follow the A72 towards Galashiels for 1.5 miles, and the entrance for Glentress is signposted to the left-hand side.
From the west or north: You can get to Peebles using the A72 or the A703 from Edinburgh. From the south: Leave the M74 at Junction 15 (Moffat) and take the A701 towards Edinburgh. At Broughton, take the B712 on the right, which joins the A72 (turn right) and head into Peebles. From the east: Take the A72 towards Peebles. After the village of Cardrona (and MacDonald Hotel), the entrance for Glentress is signposted to the right.

Public Transport

The X62 bus from Edinburgh to Galashiels stops a fifteen-minute walk away. Ask for ‘Glentress’ rather than ‘Peebles’ which is three miles away.

What to wear and bring

Dress for fun in the forest! Closed, sturdy shoes are a must — no heels, slip-ons, flip-flops or Crocs (they might be comfy, but they're not adventure-proof). Keep your midriff covered so your harness sits over clothing, and tie back long hair — we don't want it catching in the treetops.

Oh, and trust us on this one — don't wear white. The forest floor has a sense of humour, and it doesn't play nicely with laundry day. Our adventures are great in all weathers, as long as you're prepared!

Our blog covers what to wear in every season and what to bring for a brilliant day out.
