The Riding of the Bounds is part of a 550-year-long celebration which involves residents riding on horseback around the Borough of Berwick-Upon-Tweed, in Northumberland, United Kingdom, in a traditional ceremony to protect its borders.

The 2007 Riding of the Bounds event saw over 230 horse riders and horse-drawn vehicles take part in a 15 kilometre journey which started at Akoonah Park and rode around Berwick and Upper Beaconsfield, then finished back at Akoonah Park. A different route will be taken this year, but is still expected to take approximately 2 hours.
The cost of Riding of the Bounds includes the ride, a certificate of participation, BBQ lunch and the traditional ceremony. Early bird entry prices are available until
1 August 2008, so make sure you register early for a discount.
Dress up and show exemplary riding skills as prizes will be awarded in six categories:
- Champion Riders – Hotspur Trophy
