You need never be short of things to do in Newcastleton.

The village has a range of activities for all age groups and all interests. For the family there are the 7stanes mountain biking trails or a variety of outdoor activities from abseiling to gorge walking at Rock UK Whithaugh Park which also has an indoor swimming pool for those bad weather days! For the cyclist, who loves the challenge of the longer route to the adventure of the forest, there are trails to Kielder and coast to coast.

If you prefer less arduous activities the village boasts a range of walks both long and short, which explore the village, local countryside and forest where wildlife watching is also popular. Or perhaps horse riding is your passion, if so there are plenty of local trails, on quiet lanes and off road.

Perhaps a game of golf or bowling is more to your taste. And don’t forget to bring the fishing rod and spend a day out on the river.

You might also want to visit during one the main village events such as the Newcastleton Traditional Music Festival or the Holm Show – we'd love to see you there!

And after you have sampled the activities above remember there is a warm welcome at the fine local places to eat, stay and shop.
