Haddington & East Linton
Both towns are situated snugly under the Garleton Hills along the banks of the River Tyne. Agriculture has long been their local industry and still today people enjoy the popular Farmers’ Market and a stroll to The Linn, a picturesque waterfall.
Aberlady Bay nature reserve
Aberlady Bay was established in 1952 as Britain’s first nature reserve. There are beautiful walks across the reserve, beginning by crossing the famous ‘footbridge to enchantment’. The variety of birds, plants and geology have made it a site of special scientific interest (SSSI). Definitely worth visiting.
