En bici de Loanhead a Edimburgo

This ride takes you from Loanhead, a lively town just south of Edinburgh, right into the heart of Scotland’s capital. Starting in Loanhead, you’ll find the route pleasantly rolling—with a few hills but nothing too major. Most of the journey is on smooth paved paths and quiet roads, making it a relaxed ride whether you’re commuting or just out for some fresh air.

You’ll cover a little under 19 km and get some gentle downhill stretches as you get closer to Edinburgh. About half the route follows dedicated cycleways, so you can cruise without worrying much about traffic. The final approach brings you up into the city, with all its classic landmarks and bustly streets to greet you.

Loanhead is known for its mining history and friendly vibe, while Edinburgh hardly needs an introduction—think dramatic castle views, cobbled lanes, and more great coffee stops than you could fit in one day. Pack a waterproof (because, Scotland) and enjoy an easy-going ride between two very different but equally charming towns.
