Activities in and around Sorbietrees

Sorbietrees caters for all types of tourist and visitors to the Borders and is an ideal base for a peaceful relaxing holiday exploring Scotland’s Castles, Abbeys, Country Houses, along with the history, culture and wildlife of the Borders Reivers country.

Take a trip to Hermitage Castle, this vast eerie fortress not only witnessed long years of turbulent border reiving, but it played host to the tragic Mary Queen of Scots when she snatched two hours’ rendezvous with her lover Bothwell.

The Liddesdale Heritage Centre is also well worth a visit and we are within 30 minutes of Kielder Water, Carlisle, Gretna Green and Hadrian’s Wall.

For the more energetic why not try out the 7 Stanes Mountain Biking facility or Cycle Route 10 of the Reivers Cycle Trail.

The challenging 9 hole golf course on the Holm Hill also provides magnificent views over Newcastleton and the Liddesdale hills.

Fishing, horse riding and walking are close by.
