NORTH EAST ENGLAND
Coast & Castles
Wonderful riding along the Northumberland coast, with beaches, castles and cafés all to hand. Then up into the hills of southern Scotland, through market towns and past ruined abbeys, before dropping down into Scotland's capital city. The Coast & Castles is a dramatic and beautiful 200 miles.
