A Leisurely Ride to Heriot Watt

We'll meet on the cycle/shared path beside the bike racks at Balgreen tram stop.
If you're coming from a distance, parking is usually available on quiet residential streets if you want to come by car - or come by tram!

Leaving from Balgreen tram stop we'll follow cycle paths, shared paths and quiet roads through to South Gyle, Loch Ross and Edinburgh Park, then onward to Hermiston Village.

Entering the Heriot Watt campus we'll make a loop through the lovely grounds before returning to Hermiston village by a different route. Then we'll drop down to the canal towpath, follow this for a short section before turning off and returning to Edinburgh Park. The path alongside the tramway takes us back to our start point at Balgreen.

We'll take a leisurely pace and there will be plenty of opportunities to stop and catch our breath and take photos.
We'll stop for refreshments at Heriot Watt or Edinburgh Park.

A mixture of cycle paths, quiet roads and cycle lanes with a couple of short stretches on hard packed gravel. Suitable for all bike types.

Please bring with you a payment method for refreshments, a bike lock, a spare inner tube including tools for your bike and/or a strategy for getting yourself home in case of mechanical breakdown.

We never leave anyone behind!
