A relaxed guided cycling experience through Edinburgh is offering visitors an engaging way to explore the city’s historic streets, scenic parks, and waterfront pathways. Starting from the Port of Leith, the tour follows the tranquil Water of Leith route into the heart of the capital.


The journey passes through the elegant Edinburgh New Town, known for its Georgian architecture and grand urban design, before reaching St Andrew Square. Riders continue along Princes Street, where sweeping views of Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town skyline dominate the cityscape.


The route then descends the historic Royal Mile toward the royal residence at Palace of Holyroodhouse. Visitors also pass modern and ancient landmarks including the Scottish Parliament Building and the ruins of Holyrood Abbey.


The return journey leads through quieter lanes, parks, and viewpoints such as Queen’s Park and Royal Terrace Gardens before rejoining the Water of Leith near St Mark’s Park.
