The charming border town of Coldstream, which is home to the illustrious Coldstream Guards and is located on the northern bank of the River Tweed, was formerly a competitor of Gretna Green for runaway marriages. Visitors can try their hand at a range of activities, such as cycling, fishing, golfing, horseback, or walking in the wonderful nearby countryside, in addition to a museum devoted to the Guards and a good selection of stores and taverns. The Hirsel, an estate to the west of the town with a stately mansion in gorgeous gardens through which flow the Leet Waters, is known for a vast variety of birds which nest there. It serves as the picturesque seat of The Earls of Hume, including former Conservative Prime Minister Alec Douglas-Home. This is a great location from which to explore the area because the Scottish borders and North Northumberland are both easily accessible.
