Newcastleton was founded in 1793 by the Duke of Buccleuch as the centre of the hand weaving industry. Its broad Georgian streets and open squares have been the scene of many local events in the past and today plays host to the Traditional Annual Music Festival.

There are many things to see and do, from country walks through the surrounding forests and hills, golf at the beautiful 9 hole golf course on the side of Holm Hill, cycling at the new 7stanes bike trails plus horse riding and fresh water fishing.

In Newcastleton you will find all the essential amenities of a small village including local shops, post office, hotels, pubs, health centre and very popular coffee shop.

Residents at Riverview Holiday Park also have exclusive rights to fishing on the Liddel River within the grounds of the Park.
