Where the Leithen meets the Tweed at Innerleithen, with placid channels near the confluence and a deeper pool further up by an old weir. A gentle river swim close to town, best treated with more caution near the weir than the confluence itself.
Well-documented local swim spot where the Leithen (Cuddy) meets the Tweed; public riverside access.
Innerleithen town car parks, short walk to the confluence.
Riverbank access at the confluence; also a deeper pool further upstream near a weir/fish ladder by the golf club.
