Opposite Henderson Park, the Besom Inn is a friendly pub serving good food and a variety of ales.

The town’s excellent museum is highly recommended on self-catering holidays in Coldstream, with exhibits on the regiment which marched to London in 1660, leading to the restoration of Charles II. Beautiful walks around the lakes, rivers and woods around the town can be enjoyed. There is a particularly scenic route through ancient woodland in Hirsel Country Park, which is renowned as one of the region’s best spots for bird-watching. On the banks of Leet Water, Hirsel Golf Club is home to a challenging course.
