The Royal Burgh of Jedburgh is a popular town on in the heart of the Scottish Borders. It was recognised by the Sunday Times in March 2015 as one of Britain's best places to live and in the top fifty of the finest rural communities. Centred around the bustling High Street, consisting of a mix of attractive period properties, there is a wide variety of retailers, restaurants, cafés, and bars and well as a Co-op supermarket. The magnificent, ruined Jedburgh Abbey, which was founded in 1118, dominates the town centre and, as a scheduled historic monument, draws in large crowds of tourists following the Borders Abbey Way. St Boswells and Melrose are both situated a few miles to the northwest of Jedburgh, providing a further range of independent shops and cafes, whilst there is a Sainsbury's superstore and a Lidl in Kelso some 10.5 miles to the northeast. Located on the A68, the town benefits from excellent road connections to Edinburgh, Newcastle, and the South. Train links to Edinburgh are provided via the Borders Railway terminus at Tweedbank, 15 miles to the north. The area is also served by several local bus routes. Jedburgh is almost equidistant from Edinburgh and Newcastle International Airports. The surrounding countryside is famous for its incredible beauty, its diverse wildlife, and the wealth of sporting and recreational opportunities it has to offer. This part of the south of Scotland is famous for some of the finest fishing in the country, as well as for its strong equestrian tradition and ride-outs; Boundary Bank is an ideal base for those who enjoy walking and cycling.Edinburgh
