Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Currie do Colinton

This is a lovely and easy cycling ride from Currie to Colinton, taking in some of the leafiest parts of Edinburgh’s southwest. Your journey starts in Currie, a historic village by the Water of Leith with ancient roots stretching back to Roman times. The ride hugs mostly quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, so you’ll get to relax and enjoy the scenery, rather than battle traffic.

You'll roll gently downhill for much of the route (bonus!), dropping around 64 meters in elevation and only climbing about 32, so it's easy on the legs. Most of the surfaces are smooth (asphalt and other pavement), making it a comfy spin even on a standard bike.

You might spot some local wildlife or even glimpses of the historic Colinton Tunnel murals before you finish up in charming Colinton village. Colinton is famous for its connection to poet Robert Louis Stevenson, and its pretty village feel makes for a perfect mid-ride coffee stop or wander along the Water of Leith walkway. All in, it’s a great short ride between two of Edinburgh’s most picturesque suburbs!
