About This Route

There is a new route being officially opened on 20/9/2011 between Hopetoun House & Blackness Castle, along the Forth. The new route is mostly on estate tracks, and most of the sign posts are in place, but not all (yet), and at least one of the gates is still locked on 4/9/2011. Look out for the yellow star markers on the route map I made.

You will cycle on the following surfaces: Paved Unpaved Gravel

Highlights Along The Route

Point of Interest

Gate

Point of Interest

4 Sep 2011 - no sign posts once you leave the wood ... When you arrive at the edge of the wood, go through the gate, across the small wooden bridge and head straight up the grassy slope towards the play ground and St. Ninian's Way. Don't go along the beach as I did, you end up at a set of steps (up and down) and a gate that you have to lift your bike over.

Point of Interest

4/9/2011 - gate across path (still) pad-locked; there is a kissing gate for walkers, you can get your bike through vertically at the moment, on its rear wheel.

More highlights are available with Bikemap for iOS and Android.
