Take a Tweed hinterland drive

Compact and easy to navigate, a drive holiday to the Tweed’s inland villages and vistas delivers an abundance of things to see and do, or simply a peaceful surrender to the fresh air, friendly ambience and unhurried pace of life found in our towns.

From foodies and hikers to creatives and culture-buffs, there’s a Tweed country trip just right for you, from overnight escapes to restorative stays. In between drive-days, retreat to a villa set deep in a forest, check-in at a restored art deco hotel or get amongst local life with a fun farm-stay experience.

Whether travelling solo, taking a romantic break, getting in some family time or catching up with a crew of friends, our tip: explore more of the Tweed on your next escape from the everyday.
