Cycling

The Tweed Valley is one of Scotland’s best places to explore on two wheels, offering everything from leisurely riverside rides to adrenaline-fuelled mountain biking.

 

For a relaxed day out, follow the Tweed Valley Railway Path, a traffic-free route linking Peebles, Innerleithen, and Walkerburn, perfect for families and casual cyclists. Road cyclists will love the rolling Borders lanes, with quiet climbs and sweeping descents through open countryside.

 

For mountain bikers, the valley is world-famous: Glentress and Innerleithen form the heart of the 7stanes trail centres, with everything from gentle green routes to challenging red and black downhill runs. Whether you’re seeking a scenic spin or testing your skills on legendary trails, the Tweed Valley delivers unforgettable cycling experiences.

​

For added convenience, a secure bike storage shed will be available to guests from Spring 2026.

​

In July 2027, the Tour de France comes to the Scottish Borders, a thrilling event for riders and spectators alike passing right through Walkerburn. 

​

Opening in 2028, the River Tweed Trail will be a long-distance walking and cycling route following the River Tweed from source to sea. Perfect for both short sections and multi-day adventures.
