The 7stane at Newcastleton is a great introduction to mountain-biking for the inexperienced, but it also offers the experienced rider a real challenge. Located on the Scotland-England border it is known as the Border stane and is home to the Kielder 100 and 24hours of Exposure endurance challenge. Newcastleton offers a range of trails for all abilities from family groups to experienced thrill seekers without the crowds!

Newcastleton is only fifteen miles from Kielder Water and Forest Park offering a further range of experiences for the keen mountain biker; 30 minutes by road or for the more adventurous the Cross Border Trail which starts at the 7stane trailhead.

If you wish to experience Scotland’s mountain-biking heaven for a few days or longer then Newcastleton is a perfect starting point. We look forward to welcoming you to the Holm.
