Newcastleton,
also known as Copshaw Holm, is located at the southern tip of the
Scottish Borders close to the boundaries with Cumbria (to the south)
and Dumfries & Galloway (to the west) and fifteen minutes’ drive
from Northumberland and the Kielder Forest (to the north east).
The village can be
approached from junctions of the A7 to the north (Hawick) and south
(Canonbie) and, for the adventurous, from the east at Langholm.
The B6357 runs through the
village towards Hawick via B6399 and south to Canonbie. So if
you are heading to Newcastleton from north, take the A7 to Hawick
and then B6399/B6357 for 20 miles. If you are coming from the
south take the A7 from Carlisle/M6 to Canonbie and then turn left
onto the B6357 for 11 miles.
Newcastleton is laid out in
a plan along the main road (North/South Hermitage Street) with three
squares. The main square, Douglas Square is at the centre and
The Liddesdale Hotel is situated in prime position here on the
western side.
