Riverside Walk
If it's sunny, the riverside walk along the River Tweed has plenty of grassed areas ideal for a picnic, and there's a children's playground (near the main road bridge). You could even walk to Neidpath Castle, a tower house perched on a bluff above the River Tweed. It's in a lovely spot, a mile west of the town centre, with good views from the parapets.

Beltane Studios
The small gallery at Beltane Studios is quite superb with plenty of high-quality artwork: the highlight is also the speciality – bronze wax casting. There are huge windows looking into the workshop where you can see the masters at work. Beltane is outside of Peebles, on the road to Galashiels, just past the Hydro Hotel turn-off.

Sunflower Restaurant
The Sunflower, with its warm yellow dining room, is in a quiet spot off the main drag and has a reputation that brings lunchers from all over southern Scotland. It serves good salads for lunch and has an admirable menu in the evenings, with creative and elegant dishes that always include some standout vegetarian fare.

Kings Orchard Brasserie
The Cross Keys Hotel is a renovated 17th-century coaching inn, and the current owners have maintained the tradition of fine hospitality. Kings Orchard Brasserie here knocks together good pub grub, and there's a bar with real ales and live music at weekends.
