New guidebook to the Coast and Castles Cycle Route on National Route 1 between Newcastle and Aberdeen via Edinburgh produced by Sustrans and Pocket Mountain Guides. The Coast and Castles cycle route is an epic cross-border cycle route stretching almost 600km up the North Sea coast from Hadrian's frontier city of Newcastle to the sparkling granite streets of Aberdeen via Northumbria's brooding clifftop castles and smugglers' havens, Edinburgh's medieval Old Town and iconic bridges and Aberdeenshire's fishing villages and sweeping sandy beaches. This guide has all you need to plan your long-distance journey, including rail-linked sections and traffic-free rides for familes looking for fun days out, as well as inspiring detours for cyclists wanting to explore some of the finest coast and countryside that Scotland and England have to offer.
