The long distance footpath of St Cuthbert passes through the village on its way to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne

Graceful Norham bridge takes visitors across to the Scottish side of the river and the picturesque hamlet of Ladykirk. Guests might like to visit the stately homes of Paxton House about ten minutes drive away or the medieval wall of Berwick upon Tweed. A new attraction is coming soon to Duns (15 minutes) as the new visitor centre is completed. It will celebrate the racing achievements of Jim Clark, the world famous World champion driver.
