Old Castleton Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

Located just north of Newcastleton in the Scottish Borders, Old Castleton Cemetery bears witness to centuries of local history. Situated on a hill along the B6357, this cemetery offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It contains over 670 memorials, many of which have been photographed and recorded on Find a Grave. The site also contains three Commonwealth war graves from the Second World War, further enhancing its historical significance. The site is popular with genealogical researchers and walkers who want to explore Liddesdale's heritage.

England–Scotland Border at Northumberland and Scottish Borders

Highlight • Historical Site

Nice to ride between England and Scotland. Lots of the routes in this area follow the boarder or loop into and out of both countries.
It's the boarder between the Scottish Boarders and Northumberland as well.

Forest Chapel

Highlight • Forest

Saughtree Church, built in 1875, stands adjacent to the Victorian Saughtree House in the tranquil Scottish Borders region near Kielder. Once part of the parish of Castleton, the church stands picturesquely at the confluence of Liddel Water and Dawston Burn and is flanked by a former rectory dating from 1891, now privately used. Although no longer actively used for worship, the chapel remains an atmospheric and historic landmark in an area rich in walking trails, dark skies, and remnants of the Border Counties Railway—where Saughtree's former station now serves as a charming bed and breakfast.
