Location
Ashwell Place is situated towards the outskirts of Newcastleton yet only a short walk form the town centre, the playing field and riverside park. Newcastleton is an early planned village of mainly stone built houses laid out in a grid system, with three principal squares. This is an excellent base for access to the vast area of surrounding open hill and forest to include the Border Forest Park and the many hills that follow the Scottish/English border from Cumbria towards Hawick and Keilder Forest. This region is at the centre of a growing tourist area with a good range of local facilities and a wider range of amenities and services available in Hawick or the City of Carlisle, where there is also access to the main line train network and to the M6 Motorway. In particular there is growing interest in the historic Liddesdale Valley and a considerable increase in visits by cyclists on long distance cycle routes and for local mountain bike excursions. The village also has popular festivals including the lively and popular music festival in early July. Newcastleton is in the former county of Roxburghshire which is part of the Scottish Borders Region and its location is shown on the following Location Plan.
