Craigleith - Meadows - Portobello circuit

From the starting point we will cycle along the Roseburn path to the end, then work our way to the canal via Dalry Rd & the walk/cycle path behind Fountain Park. Along a short section by the canal turning right at the lift bridge & onto the traffic lights at the Kings Theatre. There we turn right, then sharp left bringing us to the crossing into the Meadows. We will cycle through the Meadows, then onto the Innocent railway path. We then follow the path crossing Duddingston Rd W & Duddingston Park S to Brunstane, there we take Brunstane Rd all the way to the sea front at Portobello & turn left. We will stop for coffee here, most likely at The Beach House. After coffee we will continue heading west to Leith Links, then route our way round to join the cycle path at the Water of Leith. We will cycle by the river until turning right onto the Chancelot path then at the next junction turn left onto the Ferry Road path. From here it's a straight path back to our finish point at the Craigleith junction.

An easy ride for all levels

The ride is mostly on cycle paths, shared paths with a few sections on quiet roads. Suitable for all bike types.

There will be a coffee stop along the front at Portobello.

Helmets are always advised and although the forecast is currently quite good, the weather is very changeable so waterproofs are also advisable. As we will be making a coffee stop please bring a means of payment.

The pace will be gentle, first timers are welcome.
