Balerno and the Water of Leith

Meet in Roseburn on the cobbled bridge near the Roseburn Terrace crossing.
Head onto the canal path via Ardmillan Terrace, cycle by the canal to the Colinton Dell turn off, then follow the Water of Leith all the way to Balerno.
Coffee stop at the Mill Cafe.
Return on road to the Heriot Watt campus then cycle paths back to Roseburn following the tram lines passing Edinburgh Park.

A steady route along mostly shared paths, some quiet country roads and a lovely return beside the Water of Leith

A great deal of this route is traffic free with a few short sections of road that are usually quiet at this time of day including the country road beyond the Heriot Watt campus

We will stop at the Mill Cafe in Balerno

Helmets are strongly advised, wear clothing appropriate for the weather & it's always a good idea to bring waterproofs. Also bring a means of payment if you wish to buy a refreshment at the stop, bring spare inner tubes should the unthinkable happen & a bike lock if you have one.

We never leave anyone behind
