Long distance trail between Scotland and England

The route was first devised by Ron Shaw, and opened in summer 1996. Shaw continues to sit on the walk's steering group, which is responsible for managing the path. Other members of this group are Scottish Borders Council, Northumberland County Council, Northumberland National Park, and Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Beauty. Similarly, wild camping along the route is permitted (if carried out responsibly) in Scotland, but not in England.

Although the majority of walkers travel from west to east it can be as easily walked in the reverse direction with good waymarking in both directions.

The border ridge is reached 2 mile (3 km) east of Kirk Yetholm. On the English side the trail descends through the Northumberland National Park to the village of Hethpool in the College Valley. The trail then climbs through the foothills of the Cheviot Hills, passing just south of the hillforts of Yeavering Bell and Humbleton Hill, to the town of Wooler. From Wooler the Way ascends the valley of the River Till to the twin villages of West Horton and East Horton. It then follows farmland tracks to St. Cuthbert's Cave near Holburn. Near the cave it joins St Oswald's Way and the Northumberland Coast Path (part of the England Coast Path) to head north through Fenwick to the coast just east of Beal. The last section across the sands to Lindisfarne (Holy Island) can only be walked at low tide, either by the modern road or by the historic, more direct, Pilgrims’ Path, marked by posts.

The route is designated as one of Scotland's Great Trails by NatureScot, and links with two other Great Trails: the Borders Abbeys Way and the Southern Upland Way. one of the National Trails of England and Wales, but is not itself classified as National Trail. The Way also links to St Oswald's Way, the England Coast Path, the Roman Heritage Way and the Sir Walter Scott Way.
