RouteXpert Review This is quite a straightforward route from the Premier Inn hotel at Newcastle airport to the Travelodge Hotel at Perth. The scenery changes from typical but beautiful English countryside to open moorland as you join the spectacular A68 through the Northumberland National Park and onto the England/Scotland border at route point (RP) 7. The Leaderfoot Viaduct over the River Tweed at RP 9 is worthy of a stop to take pictures. This route bypasses Edinburgh and crosses the Firth of Forth on the newly opened Queensferry Crossing bridge, this was still being built in May 2016 so we had to use the old Forth Road Bridge. From here, it is only 30 minutes to the hotel at Perth. This route formed part of our Lands End to John O' Groats ride, our other routes will be in the Route Expert Library.
The two hotels used for this route and the next route from Perth to Inverness have direct links below this review.
