Mountain Biking

Guided Rides | Skills Tuition | Taster Sessions | Weekend Packages | Bike Hire | Bikes for Sale

With one of the world class 7stanes mountain biking trails running right next to the centre, mountain biking is an important part of what we do. We can take you through your paces from beginners on taster sessions to experienced bikers wanting to improve their technique.

Guided Rides

Use our local knowledge to experience what this stunning area has to offer.

Around the Stane
The village of Newcastleton, in the Scottish Borders, offers excellent mountain biking adventure. Beyond the way marked trail, there is plenty to explore. We will ensure that you do not miss the best bits the Stane has to offer and make the most of your day out.

Langholm
Langholm is host to a warren of hand-built trails that weave their way around the town. Tough climbs, fast descents, technical trails, Langholm is a hidden gem of the borders.

This day includes transport from Whithaugh Park.

The Lake District
Newcastleton is an excellent base to venture slightly further afield. Either as a single trip or part of a few days away; a trip down to the Lakes to sample some of the finest riding in the country, surrounded by mountains, is a must.

All prices are seasonal. Bike and helmet hire included (if required). Please contact us on 013873 75394 for further details.
