This ride follows National Cycle route 10 through the beautiful and tranquil Northumberland National Park, and over the border into Scotland. You start at Bellingham (known as the gateway to Kielder Forest) with an on road section which takes you along the River North Tyne, around Kielder Water and into the lovely Kielder Forest. The stretch around Kielder Water is spectacular and another lovely waterside run soon follows along the Lewis Burn. The ride then continues through the forest on cycle paths to Newcastleton in Scotland. Quiet roads then take you onto the finish point in Langholm on the River Esk.
