Found this place by accident while on holiday a few miles away before I'd heard of the 7 stanes. If you want a full on bike park experience you'll probably be disappointed. If you want a shortish fun quiet ride for a few hours it's spot on. There's some nice sections of single track and not overly hard also has scope to join up to kielder as well if you want a long ride. I like it here. There' no official facilities but the carpark which is free in the village has toilets lil shop a nice cafe and a couple of pubs.

Nice sections of single track Always quiet

No facailites

Been here quite a few times, it's the less heard of trail in the 7stanes offerings, this doesn't make it any less fun, the first time we rode here the was still all the Orange boardwalk technical stuff it was amazing fun, unfortunately I think this has now been removed! The trail head has been changed this year into the village, which makes a longer initial uphill crossing the new newcastleton bridge but provides a new downhill finish as well.

The red isn't to hard as far as reds go, makes it quite a family friendly trail

Not much in the way of facilities Hard to get to (font let that put you off)

its the lesser riden out of all the 7 stanes but that doesnt mean its one to avoid, the fact its in the middle of nowhere it was quite nice with pure peace and quiet. you start out in the town of newcastleton itself that has a pub shops etc and head out over the river and through a summer camp type place that has a skills loop in it. a little further along the fire road you get onto one of the better descents at the place, its all relatively easier red grades than most of the 7 stanes but its still a good ride and still the odd technical bit scattered around, after the first decent section there is fire road that seems to go on forever up to the stane but then there is a fair amount of singletrack before another huge amount of fireroad to the final sections which are the best there. the final descent also links into the skills area at the end. all in all its worth riding.

never busy if your fit its close to kielder

a fair amount of fireroad
