What you'll do

Explore some of the stunning surrounding countryside of Edinburgh on two wheels, from the iconic dormant volcano of Arthur's Seat, to a "Secret Garden" that lies a little more off the beaten track.

You’ll start your cycling tour from the west side of the city, following the Union Canal and heading through Bruntsfield Links, a public golf course, the second oldest golf course in the world.

Following the route, you’ll pass through the Meadows Park to reach the famous dormant volcano, Arthur’s Seat, which looms dramatically over the entire city.

Cruise round a 360° loop of the site, then reach the “Secret Garden” (Duddingston Village) where you can stop for a wee break beside the magnificent Duddingston Loch, surrounded by the ancient village that was settled in the 14th century. After the “pit stop”, your guide will take you back to the Old Town along the famous “Innocent Railway Path”.

He has been riding, guiding and exploring in the European Alps for nearly a decade and also more recently around much of Scotland since moving to Edinburgh 5 years ago. You’ll struggle to find anyone with as much enthusiasm for finding new trails as Riccardo and as a keen mountaineer you won’t find anyone more experienced and capable to show you the wild places he loves.
