A new exciting 250-mile on-road cycle route which runs across the whole of the South of Scotland will soon be on its way after the plan received the green light. The Coast to Coast route will run from Stranraer to Eyemouth, making it one of the longest in the UK.
It's sure to be a big draw for cyclists to the region, with it recently being named one of the fastest-growing staycation destinations in the UK.
A new challenge for experienced cyclists, it's been estimated by the South of Scotland Destination Alliance that early projections believe the Coast to Coast route could attract up to 175,000 new visitors to the region, with a direct spend of £13.7million per year.
