Quick ride by bicycle from Whitburn to Livingston

This ride takes you from the friendly town of Whitburn over to the bustling shopping hub of Livingston. Starting out in Whitburn—nestled in West Lothian, known for its mining heritage—you'll roll north and east on mostly paved, asphalt surfaces, making for smooth pedaling nearly the whole way.

The route is pretty gentle, with just a touch of climbing (under 61 meters up and about 76 meters down), so it’s suitable for most riders. You’ll spend almost all your time on well-marked cycleways, keeping away from traffic and enjoying the countryside. There are just tiny stretches on quiet and slightly busier roads, but overall, it's a relaxing spin.

Ending in Livingston, you’ll find one of Scotland’s largest shopping centers and plenty of cafés for a post-ride refuel. If you’re up for it, take a stroll through Almondvale Park or check out the local art installations before heading home. All in all, a comfortable and pleasant route between two notable West Lothian towns!
