The Newcastleton Trails are part of the internationally renowned 7 Stanes network of trails in Scotland. Here you'll find both blue and red routes, as well as the Cross Border Trail bridleway which is a humble but beautiful way to pass between Scotland and England over moorland and forest.

Mountain biking

The trails officially start in the centre of the village of Newcastleton. If you haven’t got a van or camper it’s not the best place to be getting changed after a muddy/wet ride. Your better off parking somewhere more discreet if this is the case as the trails are still worth a visit even in the wet.
