Activities
Sorbietrees Bed and Breakfast 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 or take a trip
to the Hawick Heritage Hub and trace your ancestry. We are within 30
minutes travelling of Kielder Water, Carlisle, Gretna Green and
Hadrian’s Wall to name but a few.
For the more energetic why not try out the 7 Stanes Mountain Biking
facility, the new cross-border trail or stop while on 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.
Whithaugh Park run by Rock UK Ltd has a range of
outdoor activities including Abseilling, Archery, Canoeing, Climbing,
High Ropes, Kayaking or Mountain Biking, an indoor swimming pool and
bike hire
Fishing, horse riding and walking are close by.
As we have virtually no light pollution, we are ideal for Astronomers on
a clear night.
