Quick ride by bicycle from Seafield to Edinburgh

This ride takes you from Seafield, a coastal area on the edge of Edinburgh known for its waterfront views, to the heart of the city itself. It’s a friendly distance—just over 4.5 km—making it perfect for a relaxed city cycle, commuting, or even a weekend spin.

Heading out from Seafield, you'll enjoy mostly smooth asphalt under your tires, with dedicated cycleways making up about half of the route. You’ll climb a gentle 58 meters along the way (think steady rather than steep), but most of the paths are quiet roads and cycle tracks, so you can soak up your surroundings without much traffic bustle. Expect a little bit of everything: paving stones, classic city streets, and a brief dip into Edinburgh’s scenic path network.

You finish in central Edinburgh, right by the city’s iconic sights—think the historic Royal Mile, lively Princes Street, and plenty of places to grab a coffee. Within 20–30 minutes, you’ve crossed from city edge to city heart, all on two wheels!
