The Coast and Castles Long Distance Cycle Route approx 200 miles
The Coast and Castles is a long-distance cycle route from Newcastle upon Tyne to Edinburgh, following National Route One of the Sustrans network.
The route links the Tyne & Forth estuaries and passes a plethora of historic sites including Bamburgh Castle, the ancient capital of Northumbria and the world famous Holy island of Lindisfarne. It then passes nature reserves until it crosses the border at Berwick-upon-Tweed and moves into the Tweed Valley.
Quiet lanes take you through the border country until a gentle climb onto the Moorfoot Hills into Midlothian and a spectacular view of Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth.
Alternatively the route can stay on the coast after Berwick upon Tweed and pass through the towns of Eyemouth, Dunbar & Haddington.
