Local Area

The Liddesdale Hotel is located in Douglas Square at the heart of Newcastleton (sometimes referred to as Copshaw Holm); a 17th century village planned by the 3rd Duke of Buccleugh, set in the peaceful, unspoilt countryside of Roxburghshire.  As such it combines the relaxing aspect of a remote rural settlement whilst being only half an hour’s drive to Carlisle and the motorway network.  Despite the decline of traditional industries, Newcastleton remains a very healthy and vibrant rural economy, assisted by the development of tourism and many new small businesses.

Local area activities include:

▪ Hill and Fell Walking;
▪ Nature Trail and Forest Walks;
▪ Mountain Biking;
▪ Historic Sites;
▪ Horse Riding and Trekking;
▪ Fishing;
▪ Shooting;
▪ Shopping;
▪ Lawn and Green Bowls;
▪ Golfing;
▪ Tennis, Football and Basketball.

Newcastleton is an important location to anyone interested in Border Reiver history and has various clan links, particularly Armstrong and Elliot. It also hosts a number of sporting and cultural events.
