Beginning in the picturesque harbour town of Portpatrick and finishing in Berwick, the ancient Border town, this cycling route passes through remote countryside including the UK's first Dark Sky Park, along the banks of sparkling rivers and beautiful lochs. A route that is never too flat to be boring and never too hilly to be arduous, with miles of undiscovered roads, this is a true piece of cycling heaven!
