Seven steps to Biking Heaven!

The centres are known as the 7stanes because when the project is completed each venue will have a 'stane' (Scots for stone!) somewhere along it. It might be at the start or it might be at the highest point - you'll have to wait and see!

The plan is that by 2004 seven Mountainbike centres spanning right across the heart of the Scottish Borders to Dumfries and Galloway will be created. Some have been done but many have yet to be started so check the route information before you go.

The project is being managed by the Forestry Commission with Scottish Enterprise Dumfries and Galloway, Dumfries and Galloway & Borders Tourist Boards, Scottish Enterprise Borders, Scottish Borders Council, Dumfries & Galloway Council, Scottish Natural Heritage, Solway Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund.

All the partners joined forces to raise £1 million towards the initiative however match-funding from European structural funding brought the £2m project to life.

Dramatic landscapes, steep sided valleys, great food and places to stay, and of course local ales, make the South of Scotland a must visit destination for mountain bikers.

With mile upon mile of fantastic biking trails in stunning locations this is truly Scotland's biking heaven.
It's an area which is easy to get to and only an hour or so from the north of England and the major Scottish cities. Day trips are simple but why not stay for longer and take in more singletrack?

On or off the bike you can take a closer look at what the area has on offer. There's an abundance of forest or hill tops walks with plenty of wildlife and places of interest.
