NCN Coast & Castles South Cycle Route Map (Route 1 - Newcastle to Edinburgh)

We are improving the National Cycle Network to make it more accessible for everyone. As part of our Paths for Everyone vision, some sections of the Network have been removed or reclassified. There may be sections within these maps that are no longer part of the Network. These sections are likely to be on busier roads and will suit more experienced cyclists.

This linear map shows the route and immediate surrounding area over a series of separate map panels.

The map covers the stunning southern half of the Coast and Castles cycle route, following it through Northumberland from Newcastle to Edinburgh, capital city of Scotland. It takes in some of Britain's best built and natural heritage, including Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site, unspoiled coastline and the beautiful Tweed Valley before arriving in Edinburgh.

This full colour map based on Ordnance Survey data shows clearly mapped cycle routes on traffic-free paths, quiet lanes and roads, with easy to read contours and route profiles. Also features detailed inset maps for the major towns and cities and linking routes that could be ridden for day excursions, and touring routes in the Scottish borders.  The updated 2015 edition includes the Borders Railway, a new line between Edinburgh and Tweedbank.

National Cycle Network routes covered:

• National Route 1 between Newcastle and Edinburgh
• National Route 68 between Norham and Alwinton with links to Rothbury and Alnwick
• National Route 196 between Penicuik and Pencaitland.
