Mountain Biking Tweed Valley

Where do we start?  The Tweed Valley is one of the best places for biking in the UK.  Whether you are just learning or a seasoned pro there is something for you.

At Glentress, part of the 7stanes, you can take lessons, hire bikes, be guided by professionals, enjoy the graded trails and freeride park. It's accessible, it’s free, it’s healthy and best of all it’s great fun.

Innerleithen provides something for downhill and cross country riders. Take the uplift or head up to Minch Moor and discover why the valley offers some of the best biking in the world.

Away from the trail centres there are some hidden gems, natural and quiet, these trails just have to be ridden. From short rides to multiple day trips it's all here.

It's not just about the biking though; there is coffee, cakes, bike shops, restaurants and accommodation for both you and your bikes, which is almost as good as the biking. The open roads, the friendly atmosphere, the biking events, the Tweed Valley!
