Jedburgh is a very beautiful small city. The Abbey is on the top of the hill. It's so big and unique. Couldn't visit it but I will go back. Another place to go.
Interesting historical building in a great small town. It is not an attraction for teenagers unless they have an interest in history but well worth a visit for adults. Local tourist information office well stocked with lots of ideas for days out. Don't miss stopping at the view spot on the a68 just over the border as you climb from the reservoir..
Great place to visit.
Take a picnic if the weather is good.
The main Abbey is still closed but you can still wander around and take in the history.
Look out for the alleged location of King Bruce's heart.
The graveyard is fascinating and gives you some fantastic views of the Gargoyles and Grotesques of the Abbey.

A beautiful and impressive abbey in Jedburgh. I really like the audio tour they provided, narrator had a lovely voice and it was interesting to follow along to. The only issue is that the inside is closed, which I know is not there fault but I would have liked to see photos linked to the audio guide outside (they had a couple of photos but it didn't say where they were in relation to the guide)
Nice place to visit and walk around for a few minutes. Too bad it's fenced preventing you from going inside, but I understand the safety concern.
Very beautiful area. Lots to see and loads of history. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there .would go back any time
It's mainly ruins and foundations - the abbey itself and the graveyard is currently closed due to restoration works. But what's visible is still fascinating and well presented. Particularly liked the old drainage system that's still visible and well made signage. Very fairly priced for what it is too. Less overrun and the free Jedburgh Castle Jail just 3 minutes up the road!
