Horse riding is part of the landscape of the Borders, Newcastleton and the wider Liddesdale valley. True Reiver country and absolute gem for horse riders. The area is probably one of the few places left in Britain where you can ride safely on quiet country lanes which join up with miles and miles of off-road riding on forest tracks to create rides from an hour or two to all day.

With the Waverley Way, a linear route running North to Hawick and the Bloody Bush route to the east which provides a link to Kielder plus a host of routes through both Newcastleton and Kershope forests, there is plenty to choose from.

Take a picnic and stop en-route so you and your horse can relax, take in the fantastic scenery and abundant wildlife during your ride.

So, what’s stopping you? Bring your horse on holiday to Newcastleton, we are sure you will both enjoy the experience, or if you don't have your own horse, you can hire a horse for all abilities at Bailey Mill.

Sorbietrees B&B and Bailey Mill offer accommodation for both horse and rider and can give detailed maps and instructions for riders to follow so your stay can be even more relaxed and enjoyable.
