The combination of both Lonesome Pine and Bloody Bush mtb trails gives an impressive 33km of red grade trail riding and gives riders singletrack to the border to tie in with existing routes.  The Bloody Bush mtb trail links Kielder Water and Forest Park to the Scottish border and the famous 7 Stanes bike centre at Newcastleton.  It offers an awesome adventure ride through some of the UK's wildest terrain (so be prepared).

The trail takes its name from a location on the border marked by a stone pillar which commemorates a pitched battle between English cattle raiders and their Scottish pursuers in medieval times.

Aimed at intermediate level off-roaders, it speeds through trees and moorland in what is quite literally, the middle of nowhere...
