Lauriston Castle from Roseburn Park

A pleasant circular route from Roseburn Park to the grounds of Lauriston Castle with its lovely gardens and views over the Forth.

From Roseburn Park at the back of Murrayfield Stadium we'll set out along the path beside the Water of Leith towards Balgreen where we take the shared path towards Corstorphine and follow quiet back roads to the Gyle Park.

We'll wind our way through the paths of East Craigs then downward through Clermiston and onward to Davidsons Mains Park to reach our destination at Lauriston Castle.

There will be plenty of time to wander around the grounds, enjoy the views, stop here for refreshments and comfort break.

Our homeward route is almost traffic free - joining the Blackhall and Roseburn Paths to return to the new CCWEL at Roseburn Terrace and back into the Park.

The majority of this ride is on shared paths and quiet roads. There are three main roads to cross but we do this at traffic lights.

Bring water and snacks for the journey, money if you want to buy anything at our cafe stop, phone/camera to capture the views if you like!

Helmets are recommended. Ideally, please carry a spare inner tube or two and any tools needed for your bike in the case of a mechanical - or have a plan strategy for getting home should you be unable to continue for any reason (eg friend/taxi)

We never leave anyone behind
