The Bridges Bicycle Tour
Our scenic Bridges bike tour takes us beyond Edinburgh’s city boundaries as we cycle along the Firth of Forth shoreline towards South Queensferry. This area is steeped in history with plenty of picturesque seaside charm. We learn about Edinburgh’s first iron age settlers and visit the site of a Roman fortress. We also cycle through the grounds of a Scottish country estate with its very own castle and stately home. Then marvel in the engineering of a UNESCO world heritage site as we cycle over the Forth Road Bridge.
