Fancy taking on a brand-new, evocative motoring adventure this year?
The Jim Clark Trust has launched ‘The Jim Clark Trail’, a 50-mile route through the picture-perfect Scottish Borders region the double Formula One drivers’ champion called home.
A circular route, it starts and finishes at the Jim Clark Motorsport Museum in Duns, which opens for 2020 on Sunday 1 March.
The recommended route that criss-crosses the England/Scotland border takes in Clark’s final resting place, Chirnside Parish Church, Winfield Airfield, where the first Scottish motor-race meeting was held, and Charterhall Airfield, where Clark first watched motorsport in Scotland.
You’ll also visit the towns of Berwick-upon-Tweed and Kelso, the 12th-century Norham Castle, Union Chain Bridge, the world’s oldest wrought-iron suspension bridge, and more – so it’s not just for motorsport fans.
“The Jim Clark Trail is an exciting new adventure for all visitors, on a far more modest scale to the North Coast 500, a stunning driving tour celebrating the rich heritage and culture of the Borders,” said Ben Smith, Chair of The Jim Clark Trust.
